Keep an eye on Mitch Seabaugh. There's a very good reason why he doesn't list his employer.

He's got a lot riding on the TDK development-mania. He supported Logsdon's campaign big time.

Seabaugh is also very tight with Jim Pace of Group VI. The pieces all fit together.

These are fine business leaders who have done nothing but give of their time and talents to make this community the fine place it is in which to live. You "little people" are so ungrateful. You ought to listen to McDonough Dawg --- everyone in the world sees TDK Boulevard as a gift from heaven; the solution to all of the world's traffic problems. The fact that these business people bought up all that land in east Coweta is sheer coincidence. If it weren't for this road the business people were going to turn those thousands of acres into a wildlife sanctuary. And Lynn Westmoreland is absolutely right-- we don't need to spend money on Katrina relief or New York transportation but TDK Boulevard is ok because it has national significance. You people should get sued.

about what I thought about TDK, here it is. I've always said most everyone I've talked to was in favor of it. Even the former Mayor spoke in favor of it in times past. It's been an issue long before I moved to PTC.

I've asked many on here, what should be done? I've stated I'm a PTC resident, and that Coweta is going to go nuts with development. People like to sit back and hurl insults without any thought to what actually can be done by a resident of a totally different county regarding development in the adjacent county.

Let's hear your ideas......

Brown never spoke in favor of the road; it was in the newspapers every week with someone condemning him for a lack of support. Here's an excerpt from one of Brown's posts on this site:

"When the Chamber of Commerce, Mitch Seabaugh, Lynn Westmoreland, Dan Tennant and the Coweta County Board of Commissioners demanded that the city expend $1.7 million out of the city’s general fund to pay for the TDK extension, I said no. I publicly stated that there was no sense in crippling the city financially over a road that will not do a single positive thing for traffic. The argument posed against me was I did not favor creating a valuable traffic relief road (TDK). We can now see that traffic relief was never the intention."

Now as to what we can do, my neighbors and I talked about in the front yard and it was unanimous that we should publicly hold off on the road until we have a very clear understanding of how Coweta intends to rule on the big monster on our border. Also, it was our conclusion that Logsdon most likely had knowledge of the development before it hit the newspapers.

Before he even ran for office, my friend.

God forbid we would have built a wildlife sanctuary that would have been tragic. Think of all of the tourists we would have stole away from Callaway Gardens and our state parks.
Dare to dream that coweta county would put in their own road parallel to hwy 74 and have their own access to I85.
We wouldn't want them to stand on their own feet would we?
Since the new Kia plant is being built near LaGrange maybe pathways developers could go down there and build a garbage dump to sell those "little people". I'm sure they could use the help, and they would probably appreciate it more than we do. We are sooo ungrateful here we don't appreciate everything they have done for us. Like the leaky tennis center, and the moldy police station, and the garbage that we will have to clean up.
Thats it, we are not deserving of their help anymore.

My God McDonoughDawg have you gone crazy! You think that type of massive growth is okay?? They are going to build a shopping off of the TDK extension that is bigger than anything in Fayette County except for the Pavilion which happens to the largest shopping center per square foot in Georgia! Do you have any idea of how much traffic a shopping center like that will attact?

The 3,200 homes does not even include the huge Pathway development's homes. Neither of those proposed developments match the county's land plan so why should we be so accepting of communities on steroids?

For months I read your whining about rezoning a single lot to a drugstore and how you hate Steve Brown, but you are perfectly alright with us getting massacred by Coweta County.

I just don't get it.

I'm a resident of PTC. I don't have a vote in Coweta Co. What would you recommend I do? We litterally don't have a dog in the fight. I've seen my share of huge proposals that didn't pan out.

It's not like they are going to put all these homes up in the next 2 years. Growth will come, we see this proposal, and we need to make preperations for it. I would love for Coweta to have a more direct up north to the interstate, that didn't involve using Hwy 74, is it feasible? Let's find out.

As far as accusing folks of being in "left field", I'll leave that to others. That seems to serve no purpose here.

Because if they build along Hwy. 54 south, the fastest way to the interstate will be to come up Hwy. 54 and go north on Hwy. 74.

In addition to that there is “talk” about more homes going in on Hwy. 16 between Hwy. 54 and Hwy. 85.

Trust me on this one. You haven't seen anything yet. The same builders who covered Henry County in sprawl are buying land around Turin and south of GA-16.

Turin has big plans, including expanding into the sewer business to compete, on a smaller scale, with Newnan Utilities.

There will be growth in that area like we have never seen before.

On Hwy 85, between Hwy 16 and 74...
