Georgia Power will close its 27 remaining offices, including its location on Spring Street in Gainesville, in October. Online traffic accounts for 70 percent of the utility’s bill payments, according to Georgia Power spokesman Craig Bell, moving the vast majority of traffic away from brick-and-mortar locations and mail payments. Closing the 27 offices will displace approximately 300 Georgia Power employees, according to Bell.
