InterMedia Partners, which provides cable television service for parts of unincorporated Fayette County and Peachtree City, is now part of AT&T's growing network of cable companies.

Fayette County commissioners recently recognized that fact by transferring the county's cable franchise agreement to TCI South Carolina, the AT&T affiliate that has purchased both InterMedia and Fayette's other cable franchise holder, MediaOne.

Intermedia's service record is good among the 1,283 residents of unincorporated Fayette that it serves, said Chris Cofty, assistant county manager.

The transfer was unanimously approved.

In other business, commissioners agreed to allow the county's heritage Committee to put up signs marking the sites of historic, often vanished, communities.

The committee has the money to pay for the signs, said county administrative aide Carol Chandler, who serves on the committee.

Public works director Lee Hearn said his department will erect the signs as they have time.

Signs will mark seven of 24 historic communities that the committee has identified. “We'll be asking to do more later,” said Chandler.

Getting signs in the first go-round will be Bethany, Hopeful, Inman, Kenwood, Lowry, Rest and Sandy Creek communities.
