The city council should

require the developers to find suitable tenants for the

land that will enhance the quality and fit the scale of

Peachtree City. Home Depot and Wal-Mart do not!

I would gladly opt for a

little inconvenience and drive to Home Depot or Wal-Mart

in Newnan or Fayetteville, than to have them destroy our

beautiful city, the city we all moved here to enjoy.

Traffic and safety issues

alone should keep this development from being approved.

The city council has the right to approve or deny

development and should not be forced to let this pass

because of the threat of a lawsuit. There have been other

developments that have been set aside because they did

not fit the lifestyle of the city, or because it had a

direct negative effect on the residents around it.

You have a voice; call the

mayor, the city council members and let them hear your

opinions. Don't let these big corporations come in and

ruin what we have. Write or call Home Depot, tell them

not to come, threaten to boycott if they do come. Let

them know that they are not welcome in our city.

The residents of Peachtree

City need to work together to keep Peachtree City what we

came here for. Get involved, go to the city council and

planning commission meetings, (the next planning

commission meeting will be held on Monday, Nov. 22, 7

p.m. at City Hall), let them know that you will not stand

for Peachtree City to be turned into another traffic

consumed city.
