The office is located at 1 Acy Avenue, near the roundabout on McCarty Lane. The AAA7 covers 10 counties in southern Ohio and also has office locations in Adams County (West Union) and Scioto County (Wheelersburg).
The AAA7 is working jointly with the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce for the official ribbon cutting that will be held Thursday, Nov. 9 at 4 p.m. at the AAA7 Office in Jackson. After the ribbon cutting, an open house will take place until 6 p.m. Light refreshments, information, and tours of the office will be available.
