Coweta County's

governments are ready for the fall special purpose local option sales

tax vote.

During a meeting

Tuesday afternoon, the Coweta County Commission, along with all the county's

municipalities, signed off on $98 million worth of proposed projects that

will go before the voters Sept. 18.

The biggest

project proposed is a $35 million court complex that will consolidate

all the county's judicial needs under one roof.

Coweta County

also wants to build a satellite library at Thomas Crossroads, along with

additional work on the county's roads and bridges.

All of the

municipalities submitted lists of projects to the county and streets and

sidewalk programs are priorities of nearly every city.

Grantville's

main focus is for a new library and cemetery, along with utilities expansion.

Haralson wants to expand senior citizens support facilities and restore

some of the historic buildings in town.

Moreland's

main focus is upgrading the town's historic old mill and museum, while

Newnan officials want to build a small convention center and construct

new downtown parking facilities.

Palmetto is

focusing on streets and roads and upgrading its sewer system, while Senoia

wants a small museum and additional road projects.

Sharpsburg

officials listed roads and sidewalks as their top priorities, while the

town of Turin wants to renovate an old school building for office space

and a town center.

Commission

Chairman Robert Wood was pleased that all the officials submitted their

projects in a timely manner.

"This

proves that we can sit down and cooperate with each other," he said.

Wood also addressed

recent comments about how active public officials could be in promoting

the SPLOST vote.

"Anybody

that asks me on an individual basis will get my opinion," he said.
