The story
In December 2024, the Mayor and City Council voted 5-0 to adopt Resolution 2024-7, authorizing a feasibility study for restoring the Town Green.
More than a year later, an April 2026 City Council packet laid out a proposed funding package for restoring the square and adding green space, relying on a Georgia Transportation Infrastructure Bank grant of $1.6 million, a $100,000 low-interest loan, a $200,000 right-of-way donation from the city, and $50,000 each from LMIG and SPLOST funds.
