I am writing to you because I believe Peachtree City should have a movie theater. A movie theater would benefit the community in many ways.

Instead of driving to Fayetteville or Newnan residents would save money by saving the cost of gas. The fact that residents could drive there in golf carts would save residents even more money, while helping the environment.

Another reason it would be beneficial is it would bring in more money for local businesses which would help Peachtree City have a a greater economy.

In addition to money from ticket sales, local businesses such as restaurants would increase revenues from people stopping in before or after seeing a movie. This would provide further opportunity for new businesses to rise with the success of the new movie theater.

Also, a movie theater would provide a place for teenagers to enjoy teen interaction in a safe environment. It would give teenagers a place to work and to earn money to teach them the value of a dollar.

The recent highway improvements would help prevent traffic jams. Therefore, I ask city leaders to work to bring a movie theater into Peachtree City.
