NOTICE REGARDING AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
In accordance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), Graham County does not discriminate, on the basis of disability, against qualified individuals with disabilities in the County’s services, programs, or activities.
A person who requires an accommodation or an auxiliary aid or service to participate in a County program, service, or activity, should contact the Human Resources Office, Attn. ADA Coordinator, at (828) 479-7961 or the Supervisor or Program Manager of the department where the accommodation will be used, as far in advance as possible but no later than 48 hours before the scheduled event.

Graham County will not place a surcharge on individuals with a disability or any group of individuals with disabilities to cover the cost of providing auxiliary aids or services or reasonable modifications of policy. Requests should be made in writing. However, if the person making the request is not able to submit the request in writing, other forms are acceptable upon notification in person to the Human Resources Office or by telephone at (828) 479-7961
