Coweta's municipalities

will finalize their proposed projects for a special purpose sales tax

vote next Tuesday.

County Administrator

Theron Gay told the city leaders earlier this month that $35 million of

the revenue expected from the tax is earmarked for a new justice center.

Gay said the

county had projected $88 million generated over five years, assuming a

7.5 percent growth rate.

But if the

county grows 11 percent a year, nearly $98 million would be generated.

After the justice

center funds are allocated, the county would receive 67 percent of the

remaining funds.

The county's

municipalities would then share the remaining funds, with Newnan getting

25 percent.

Newnan Mayor

Keith Brady said the city is still working on its list for submittal to

the county.

Palmetto, which

is partially in Coweta County, would receive between $347,000 and $409,000

based on the growth rate.

Palmetto City

Administrator Bill Shell said the funds would be used for street and sewer

system improvements.

Earlier this

week, Senoia officials prepared their list to take to the county.

City officials

decided their funds should be spent on road projects, a museum project

and water projects.

Senoia Mayor

Joan Trammell would like to see Pylant Street reconfigured and a turning

lane established for the busy street.

The city has

earmarked $250,000 for a museum project, which could include reopening

the Buggy Shop Museum or having a historic museum established in the city.

As for water

projects, Trammell said the city is looking at building a bigger water

tank to accomodate the city's rapid growth.

The SPLOST

meeting is set for 4 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex in Newnan.
