Another chapter

in the ongoing dispute between 21st Century Coweta and the Coweta County

Commission unfolded during Tuesday's commission meeting.

When the dust

had settled, the County Commission had agreed to appoint 21st Century

director Scott Frederick to the county's Economic Development Advisory

Committee.

The commission

originally considered appointing two members from the economic development

group to the board, but the vote did not garner the necessary three votes.

Commission

chairman Jim McGuffey said he was in favor of the two groups working together,

but said he wasn't in favor of changing the bylaws to allow two new members.

Commissioner

Robert Wood pointed out that Chamber director Greg Wright was on 21st

Century's board and the county's advisory group. If two more 21st Century

members were added, the group would be close to having a majority of 21st

Century Coweta members.

The latest

dispute is part of an ongoing battle between the county and the economic

development group.

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.

But, in a conciliatory

nod towards shoring up relations, Wood made a motion to add Frederick

to the committee. The committee will now feature 10 members and report

to the county on efforts of luring more economic development to the county.
