Do you want to be involved and stay abreast of the ins and outs of all Peachtree City local issues, but cannot get to all of the city’s meetings?
Are things happening in your community or neighborhood that you would like to change but feel you lack a voice that will be heard?
Encourage your neighborhood to join us.
The Peachtree City Civic Association (PTCCA) was formed in January of 2007 as a volunteer-run citizens’ advocacy group determined to provide the necessary liaison between city government and the citizens of PTC. In other words, it was formed to hold the city government accountable to the people they represent, and to facilitate the maintenance of our quality of life.
It meets once a month to discuss and debate the local issues in a productive setting with the purpose of doing right by this community. The group follows the issues and brings information back to its members so they can be better informed and better able to make decisions about what they feel is the right course for PTC. The group then communicates that course to city staff. Position papers are written on important issues and presented to city council. The group also sponsors educational forums once per year.
