Town hall meeting set for Monday night

If you have an idea to make Coweta County a more liveable county, you need to make a beeline to White Oak Elementary School Monday night.
County Commissioners Leigh Schlumper and Larry DeMoss are staging a town hall meeting at 7 p.m. to get feed back from residents on a number of topics, including:
• Lower Fayetteville Road and its traffic concerns.
• The chairmanship of the County Commission. County officials are debating whether the chairmanship should stay on a rotating basis or should be elected by the people.
• A sports council. DeMoss would like to see a council established that would help lure lucrative tournaments into the county that would help increase the sales tax dollars in the county.
• The new overlay district for Ga. Highway 34 that adds higher standards for development on one of the county’s busiest roads. 
“We are interested in getting feedback from the citizens on what we can do to make our community a better place to live. Larry and I both believe that if people get involved in the community process that we are more likely to succeed,” Sclumper said. She added the format will just be questions and answers and be very informal.
