Towns County, GACounty

The office. The GDVS's find-an-office list carries one row naming Towns: "Blairsville - Fannin, Rabun, Towns, Union - 1294 Georgia Highway 515 East Blairsville, GA 30512". The Blairsville page: "Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are accepted as time permits." The contacts: "Veterans Service Officer and Manager Eddie Fontaine" at (706) 835-3980, ext. 344584, and "Veterans Service Officer 2 Christine Collins" at ext. 344583. Hours: "Monday - Friday: 08:00 a.m. - 03:30 p.m." - closed Saturday and Sunday, all Eastern. The page offers online scheduling through ReFrame. In the county. The office is in Blairsville, the Union County seat, so a Towns veteran travels there rather than walking to an office in Hiawassee; no GDVS field office sits inside Towns County. See the Georgia State entries for the claims the GDVS files. The county's own record. No separate county veterans service office appears on the county site: townscountyga.org's Government menu names the clerk of court, the commissioner, the magistrate/probate judge, the sheriff and the tax offices, and no veterans line - the site's Resources list carries no veterans row either.
