The West Georgia Technical College/West Central Technical College merger will make the newly named West Georgia Technical College the second largest technical college in Georgia. West Georgia Technical College will serve seven counties – Carroll, Coweta, Douglas, Haralson, Heard, Meriwether and Troup.
