Senoia's Main
Street will soon be sporting a new look.
Coweta County
Commissioner Vernon "Mutt" Hunter asked the County Commission
Tuesday to let county workers build the new planters in the town's downtown
area.
The city's
Downtown Development Authority received a grant to replace the planters
that are currently built of crossties.
The new planters
will be brick and be more in tune with the city's historic flavor, officials
say. Hunter asked the board to let authority member Jimmy Hutchinson oversee
the work.
In other news,
the commission:
Approved a
resolution condemning last Tuesday's terroristic attacks in New York City
and Washington.
Reported the
open house at the new fairgrounds facility on Pine Road was a rousing
success. The fair opened this week, and the board has heard nothing but
favorable comments from residents.
Agreed to
let the American Legion display MIA and POW flags at the Coweta County
Courthouse today. The group is staging a special ceremony to rally the
troops after last week's attacks.
Approved a
$20,000 change order for the new water tank in the Canongate community.
Assistant administrator Eddie Whitlock said the engineering firm of Palmer
and Stevenson had evaluated the site and determined there was no rock
in the area.
But when construction
started, the crew ran into a heavy bed of rock and needed the extra $20,000
to eliminate it.
Commissioner
Hunter wondered if sounding equipment had been used to look for rock and
asked Whitlock to investigate the situation further.
