Paula Phillips said she wouldn’t miss the railroad crossing that threatened to impede her daily commute, but leaving Rehabilitation Industries of Northeast Georgia in Gainesville has been an otherwise bittersweet experience. “I’ll miss all those individuals that I had an opportunity to serve,” she said during a Thursday morning open house at the private, nonprofit organization, which helps people with disabilities find work.
