One of the biggest developments in the history of the Southern Crescent received unanimous approval from the Coweta County Commission to move forward Tuesday night.

Developer Tom Reese’s vision for an upscale community called McIntosh Village could transform the entire landscape of eastern Coweta County and Peachtree City.

The development on Peachtree City’s border on McIntosh Trail will feature more than 3,100 homes and a pedestrian-friendly commercial village when its completed in 10 years.

The Coweta County Commission added 13 conditions to the 27 that were recommended by the planning department. Included in the new condition are requirements to fence an existing cemetery on the property, complete a traffic study for Christopher Road, provide a minimum of 40 ft. of right-of-way for the future widening of McIntosh Trail and allow no commercial development facing McIntosh Trail.

Reese said the process was the culmination of four years of hard work and thanked the county’s staff for their guidance.

“This is is how all development should be done,” said Commission Chairman Tim Higgins.
