"Stay the course" isn't working Mayor LogsdonHere we go again! Peachtree City getting slapped over the head over TDK. “So far the city has paid about $500,000 towards the project including design work, and Mayor Harold Logsdon said the city will not pay any more. Although local governments are allowed to overrule GRTA decisions for projects in their jurisdiction, Peachtree City cannot do that because the requirement stems from the 3,000-home McIntosh Village project planned for Coweta County." "The city still has to do some more design work and must confirm that the county owns the remaining land necessary for the road approach to the bridge, said City Attorney Ted Meeker. Once the design and right-of-way acquisition are complete, the project can be turned over to Fayette County, which has agreed to build the bridge and part of the road.” Ah oh! We were told the city council was not going ahead with the road right now. The city attorney is already talking about getting the county building the bridge. “Coweta County opposed Peachtree City’s appeal on the bridge width, and Poole noted that the city never came to Coweta to discuss its growth.” Why in our wildest dreams would we want to build TDK into a county where their leaders show no signs of concern for our well being at all? We look like total fools. johenry's blog | login to post comments |
