Downtown Augusta suffered severe flooding problems in the December 2023 storm. A few problems still remain as a result of this incident that may impact clients' ability to visit the building at this time:
- The rear wheelchair ramp is currently unavailable. The front wheelchair ramp and elevator are still fully accessible from the front entrance.
- There is still a faint, gas-like smell on the first floor from when the heating system was knocked out by water and repaired. The smell is still also occasionally present in the elevator. The smell is not apparent on the main or second floor where our office is located, but may be of concern to clients with relevant migraine triggers or respiratory concerns.
