Braelinn Baptist Church's efforts

to build a new sanctuary in Tyrone will have a first test Thursday night.

The Tyrone Planning Commission

is conducting a public hearing on changing the zoning category of a tract

at Ga. Highway 74 and Dogwood Trail from Agricultural Residential to Educational

Institutional.

Town manager Barry Amos said

Braelinn officials have not yet submitted formal plans to the city, but

he expects to get more specifics from church officials Thursday night.

Peachtree City is looking to

acquire the current Braelinn Baptist Church campus for use as a community

center. The facility has 18 classrooms and a multipurpose auditorium that

can seat up to 600 people. The purchase would cost Peachtree City $2.6

million and is part of a bond referendum that will go before the voters

in November.

Additionally, the Planning

Commission will:

Discuss an annexation request

Creek Road into the town. Amos said the site is bordered on two sides

subdivision.

Jennings has not specified

how he wants to develop the tract.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

at Tyrone Town Hall.
