The meeting will be from 1-3 p.m. on June 30, at the North Huntsville Public Library,  3011 Sparkman Drive. 

“This hearing is a critical part of developing our comprehensive Area Plan for FY 2026-2029, which guides the delivery of coordinated, supportive services, nutrition programs, and senior center activities in our region,” said TARCOG’S Director of Aging Programs Sheila Dessau-Ivey. 

She said feedback gathered during this hearing will help the agency shape programs and services that reflect the real needs of our communities.
