Could Coweta

County and 21st Century Coweta be patching up their differences?

Next Tuesday,

the County Commission is expected to consider a proposal to allow two

members of 21st Century Coweta on the county's development board, while

two representatives from Coweta County would be involved with 21st Century

Coweta's efforts at luring industry to the county.

County administrator

Theron Gay said the issue arose after the Coweta County Economic Development

Advisory Committee voted to allow two 21st Century Coweta members on the

county's board this week.

Last year,

the split grew so big between the county and 21st Century that county

officials set aside $275,000 to start their own development agency.

The commission

unanimously approved the concept of hiring a staff member to head up the

county's economic development office and is expected to announce the new

hire at Tuesday's meeting.

In the past,

the commission has said the new person would report to County Administrator

Theron Gay.

The county

already has Buddy Harrison in place, who markets the Shenandoah Industrial

Park.
