First off the_assassin, the airport authority got the money from the FAA to purchase this land. TDK will still run along the border even after the runways are extended.

The deal Logsdon crammed down the City Council throats, "has to be done tonight", took an additional three weeks because the city attorney the Mayor and City Council didn't read the 140 page closing document. (should have had a sign) BTW, Lodsdon admits this.

Second: If you stop drinking Logsdon's kool-aid long enough to do research, you'd see that Pathway is now getting a free road to their property that will border the new lake. They would have had to pay for their own road without this deal. Oh by the way, if this deal goes south PTC is still on the hook for the road or the land reverts back to Pathway. (a little clause that was overlooked by the Mayor and city attorney, got-a lov it)

Third: those of us that work in Atlanta pay for Peachtree City. Do you honestly think that the menial jobs that are available here in PTC pay enough for someone to actually live here?

Try this:
Peachtree City, GA
Median Household Income $74,747.
Cost of Living Index 110.2
Average Household Total Consumer Expenditures $53,758.
Average Household Retail Expenditures $24,688 per year.

Yahoo Real Estate

Please tell me where the 40,000 residents of PTC can make this kind of money without working in Atlanta.

Such a great deal that the TDK extension STILL ISN'T underway.

No clearing.
No grading.
No paving.
One lawsuit gumming it all up.

Yeah, Logsdon really rammed that down everyone's throat. What a master manipulator!!!

You folks are so gawdarned delusional! Cut your meds back or take a long vacation or something.

Steve Black and company could pay for its part of the road out of the petty cash box BTW.

Did you forget this?

"Fayette County Public Works Director Lee Hearn said it might take a year or more for construction to start since the three new golf holes at Planterra Ridge Golf Club must be ready to play on before crews can begin grading and other related work."

Blind and ignorant is a bad combination "the_assassin" and you have dribbled the developer koolaid down the front of your shirt.

Johenry is probably talking about deal with the airport authority buying the Pathway land which allowed for TDK right of way. First of all city funds were NOT used to purchase that land. The funding came from the federal government.

Yes Mayor Logsdon was heavily involved in the transaction. Yes Pathway owner Doug Mitchell contributed heavily to Mayor Logsdon's campaign. Yes it was probably a stupid idea for the mayor to get in the middle of that deal.

But all of that is water under the bridge anyway.

I have a brother-in-law that is a US attorney (University of Virginia grad) and I will ask him about situations like this. I also have an uncle that is a deputy attorney general in another Southeastern state. I'll ask them both, and get back with you.

If a law has been broken, believe me, I will not stop until something is done about it. I need to find out more information about the federal money, where it came from, and what capacity the mayor acted in. What do you mean by the campaign support?

BTW, please read my blog to you from a couple of days ago. Using The Gipper as your avatar is just plain wrong. I am from a long line of Republicans, and we don't appreciate RINOs like you that use public funds (our tax money!) to enrich private interests, whether they are welfare queens or Fayette land speculators that bought east Coweta farm land!!

My understanding (from a source I trust) is that the Federal money is from a FAA provision that enables grants to move an existing runway.

While not illegal, you can bet Doug is playing this choke-hold on the property of every dollar possible.

appreciated!

It's pretty darn clear the public at large doesn't like TDK into Coweta. My question is what would you accept? How many house are acceptable on the Coweta side and how much retail would you accept over there?

There might be a compromise that would work.

What I would like is the 1.6 acre lot zoning which Coweta has had for so long and still has for the rest of the county.

I would also like to have a little more honest and open dialogue. Remember that bomshell of the new city with 3000 or so homes on small lots etc was not shown to us until AFTER the chamber had help push this TDK thing through. You have to admit that the developers and their friends in high elected office did a good job of keeping things secret until they got what they wanted,ie, a government funded road and bridge that made multimillionares out of the new Coweta landowners.

Oh boy some of you poor souls are hilarious. The developers didn’t keep the whole thing a secret. Steve Brown did everything but write personal letters to everyone in Peachtree City to tell us TDK was a scam. Unfortunately, the voters were too dense to realize Steve actually looked out for the average citizens.

Harold Logsdon has done nothing positive so far and his major accomplishments are trying to bring more big boxes, ignoring the locals, ramming TDK down our throats, killing employee morale, raising taxes, annexing useless property and paying off the development authority thieves. Oh yeah, we did have a bike race that we paid for instead of raising the base pay for our police.

I agree with Stevens770 that Coweta needs to go back to 1.6 acre lots like they promised. No CCB, we shouldn’t compromise and create another Ga. Highway 85.
