Eastern Coweta

County will soon have a Christian retreat.

The Coweta

County Commission voted unanimously Tuesday night to rezone 5.5 acres

just outside of Senoia on Chestlehurst Road from Rural Reserve to C-4

Commercial.

Rev. Jacquelyn

Ponder and Billy Ponder plan to establish a Christian retreat for residents

in Coweta County and other areas to enjoy.

The center

will be similar to a hotel and offer meals, but Commissioner Vernon "Mutt"

Hunter stipulated that no alcohol sales would be allowed on the premises.

In other news,

the commission:

·Executed

a contract with the state Department of Transportation to provide signage

and a master plan for the county's proposed bicycle path network.

The paths will

wound throughout the county and provide a seamless route for weekend adventure

seekers or alternative transportation enthusiasts to get around the county.

The contact requires Coweta County to pay $20,000, while the DOT kicks

in $80,000.

·Accepted

a $31,660 law enforcement block grant to provide cameras in patrol cars.

The grant requires a 50 percent match by Coweta County, but Sheriff Mike

Yeager said he could use funds from drug raids to pay for the match.
