Hey Bad_ptc, it's also important to note that developer buddy State Senator Mitch Seabaugh (East Coweta is his district) and Doug Mitchell from Pathway were Logsdon's big campaign contributors.

I still can't believe Pathway got $2 million for their TDK property, unbelievable! Not on a major highway, poor access,and in an industrial zone that usually hauls in about $30,000 to $45,000 an acre.

Blogger Jones had a great post on who's been involved that Coweta/TDK mess, but I can't find it. It's worth reading.

Our planned community is now gone. There will be 200,000 in county in less than ten years and it will be gridlocked and taxed to death to pay for all the things the developers will not build as they go: like roads, drains, recreation, police equipment, firehouses, schools, water, sewer, and most of all: leadership. Plus, there won't be another job here except retail help, and of course banks and lawyers and doctors.

Which developer in Sharpsburg does Senator Mitch Seabaugh work for. What did he and Lynn know. When did they know it? Why were Federal powers used to move the golf course after having it condemned to allow the TDK Extension to be built? Who did what for whom?

This is nothing more than Home Cooked Insider Trading.

There's been lots going for years planning this ROAD TO NOWHERE. Harold is just the latest foot soldier. Look at Commander Mutt Hunter, for example. Former Coweta Commission Chair, graduate of the Velvet Jones School of Technology, big buddies with Lynn, Mitch, Pace....Interesting--- why in the world would Fayette County have the Coweta Commision Chair in a full time job as Fayette Director of ROADS. That's right--- Lee Hearn (Fayette Road Director) was Mutt Hunter's Protege.

Harold says “I haven’t seen the DRI” which means "I haven't done anything to prepare for this job" or it means "I knew all about this road and I beholden to the developers to make it happen." Harold was heard saying to his wife "This is all getting to be too much. I am going to go up on the roof and rake some leaves and then head over to the YKnot and throw back a couple cold ones."

P.S. He is not a sack of rice but a sack of rocks, admired by geologists throughout the world. See Spear Guy post.

Clearly, it is way too little, way to late, for PTC as far as Logsdon is concerned. Cal Beverly put it best before the election when he said about Logsdon, "don't say I didn't warn you". Steve Brown may have been a dork, somewhat of a buffoon, but at least was not the developer's puppet, and I think he cared about what he thought was best for PTC. I don't think anyone feels that way about Logsdon.

We do not need another road to Coweta County. By we, I mean the citizens of PTC--not the developers. Let Coweta build another road to the Interstate from TDK to Fairburn if they want all of that tax money. Stop it now! At least see who is going to benefit, money wise.

I can tell you for sure that you'd never see a million sq. ft. of traffic grinding commercial space on the Coweta development plan if TDK wasn't extended. TDK is the shortest route into the site from a major population base. The beautiful little traffic relief road that will cause five times the traffic burden, thank you Mr. Mayor.

Say what you want about Brown, "loon", "dork", whatever, but the word you can't use is "wrong". And he definitely didn't pander to special development interest.

Give us a break Mayor Logsdon, "yea it might cause some impact but we can't do a thing about it." What did we do to deserve this kind of punishment?? Just take him away God, we'll do better, I promise!

I agree with Dopplerobserver, kill the darn road project as fast as you can. Honestly, a development that's half the size of the proposed TDK/Coweta one would destroy us.

Who cares who is going to benefit. As long as PTC benefits why should we care who else does?

Now if PTC is NOT going to benefit from it, then I think we have a valid argument against it.

Why??

I didn’t imply “hide” who benefits from it.

What difference does it make as long as PTC is benefiting from it?

Bad_ptc, I'm surprised you still think, in some way, that PTC can benefit from TDK. The added automotive traffic from Pathway and the new monster one would create a minimum of 12,000 additonal cars per day - that's not trips which would be double - pumping onto Highway 74. Now, add the cars and trucks going in and out of a million square feet of retail and office. So the main reason for building the road in the first place, traffic relief, is shot to pieces. Actually, the opposite will occur.

What ever happened to saving the Braelinn Shopping Center? A million square feet of competition less than a mile away will further injure their hopes of staying alive.

What's the real reason for having the road for PTC? I can easily see where Coweta and the overzealous developers win on the deal.

Vote Republican

I'm saying IF we can benefit, than why should we care if others do as well.

IF we DON'T benefit, than don't build it.

The answer is we do benenfit from TDK being a by-pass.

Otherwise these developers would end up moving the plans over onto 54.

Does anyone really think they would not pursue this, without TDK, in another form?

Keeping it real and to the core of the issue, not the peripherals.

They’ll move it somewhere.

Go on Google Earth or Map-Quest and look at all the undeveloped land that is west of 74 between 54 and Senoia.

There’s Hwy. 16 sitting there almost empty and waiting for development.

Now the question becomes, how can we, PTC, best take advantage of the situation?

Not really sure at the moment.
