Peachtree City's Public Improvement
Program, budgeted at $3.18 million for the coming fiscal year, makes room
for plenty of renovation projects.
With the Police Department scheduled to move out from the bottom floor
of City Hall, $234,000 has been set aside to renovate City Hall's upper
and lower levels.
The Developmental Services Department will be relocated to the downstairs
offices and an elevator will be added to City Hall. Those funds also cover
the renovation of the public works administrative facility.
Neely Fire Station has also been earmarked $163,000 for renovation costs.
The office and crew areas will be renovated and a communications tower
will be built there.
The Gathering Place, meanwhile, will expand by 1,200 square feet in a
$249,000 project planned for this year. Another leisure services component,
the planned multi-use rink for the Kedron Village area, will have a cover
built and lighting erected so it can be used after dark.
Also, $200,000 has been budgeted for construction improvements to the
amphitheater. Included in that cost is the addition of bathrooms and a
sound platform.
Vehicle costs for public safety departments also are included in the PIP.
The Police Department plans to continue leasing 33 vehicles so it can
continue its take-home policy, which will cost $261,319. Also, the Fire
and Rescue Department is getting a new ambulance with an estimated cost
of $96,000.
Also, $12,000 has been set aside for demolition of the old Leach Fire
Station and instillation of a monument in the area to honor Peachtree
City's volunteer firefighters.
More than $400,000 has been budgeted for the year's street resurfacing
program, which will address 18 different streets. The costliest project
among those is Braelinn Road, at $106,700, followed by Cameron Trail,
at $61,735. An additional $118,000 was factored in for street repairs
and maintenance.
The cart path resurfacing program has been allocated $74,000 for 37 different
projects.
