Is the Coweta

County Administrative Complex set for a facelift?

It could be,

as the County Commission mulls over a suggestion by Commissioner Leigh

Schlumper to spruce up the county's administrative building.

Schlumper said

she would love to see the black paint inside the building gone, and said

the exterior also needs a make-over.

"Since

the city of Newnan has just finished its streetscapes, we also need to

spruce up," she said.

She suggested

possibly more plantings outside the building, along with fixing some columns

and sidewalk repair.

Commissioner

Vernon "Mutt" Hunter said the county needs to focus on maintenance

before any cosmetic improvements are made.

"We need

to stop the darn roof from leaking," he said.

The other commissioners

agreed with Hunter, and instructed staff to look at the costs of the repair,

along with some cosmetic items.

Schlumper said

she would love to see the entire building's stucco replaced with brick,

but knew it would be too expensive. But Commissioner Lawrence Nelms said

a brick accent could be part of the facelift.

Commissioner

Robert Wood said the building could use a little fix-up, but still was

in good shape.

"This

looks a whole lot better than many of the buildings I've seen in my travels,"

he said.
