Peachtree City intends to pay $4 million for property at 102 Guthrie Way to expand the current police department headquarters building that will include a “fully functioning gun range.”

The proposed contract for the building expansion off of Ga. Highway 74 South is marked as “confidential.”

The city says the following about its plans:

“The purchase of this property is intended to fill the current and future need for our Police Department operations and to provide for a dedicated Emergency Operations Center.

“Staff has been developing plans to expand our Police Department building over the past three years with various options being considered and conceptualized.

“The purchase of this property will solve current and future needs of the Police Department for decades to come via additional office and meeting space, plus providing a robust training facility complete with a fully functioning gun range.”

Meanwhile new Council member Suzanne Brown — who proposed a resolution against the building a bridge across the dam at Lake McIntosh to facilitate a new boulevard into Coweta County that links with Crosstown Road — withdrew it Monday afternoon.

The now withdrawn resolution was asking the Fayette County Commission to delete the so-called TDK Extension from the county’s Comprehensive Transportation Plan.

The resolution — now withdrawn — “encourages the Coweta County Board of Commissioners to identify the growing burden on Coweta County commuters caused by large retail and residential developments in the eastern portion of the county, and work with the Atlanta Regional Commission, City of Sharpsburg, City of Senoia, and the Three Rivers Planning Commission to identify and implement alternative routes within Coweta County to provide relief to residents living in Eastern Coweta County by obtaining better access to I-85.”

Below is the agenda for March 7 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall:
