City Council reviews 2025 paving plans and announces Southeast Athletic Complex improvements

The Stonecrest City Council's recent work session highlighted significant developments in local infrastructure projects, particularly focusing on paving initiatives and community facilities.

One of the key discussions centered around the 2025 paving project, with bids set to open on May 29, 2025. The purchasing division has already addressed vendor inquiries, and a recommendation for a qualified contractor is expected to be presented at the council's June 23 meeting. If all goes according to plan, paving could commence by July 4, enhancing road conditions across the city.

In addition to future paving, the council reviewed the successful completion of the 2024 paving projects, which improved several subdivisions, including Hayden Quarry Road and Panola Road. These upgrades are crucial for maintaining safe and accessible roads for residents.

Another major highlight was the completion of the Southeast Athletic Complex's new restroom facilities, which will significantly increase capacity for community events. The new restrooms, designed for easier maintenance, are awaiting power installation from Georgia Power, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony anticipated soon.

The council also discussed ongoing projects, including the installation of outdoor exercise equipment at Farrington Park and improvements to Salem Park's sewer line, which will facilitate future restroom construction. Additionally, plans for expanding parking at the Southeast Athletic Complex were unveiled, aiming to accommodate larger events without the need for shuttle services.

Transportation initiatives were also on the agenda, with updates on sidewalk designs for key roads and grant applications for further enhancements. The council is actively pursuing funding for projects that will improve pedestrian safety and connectivity throughout the community.

As these projects progress, the City Council remains focused on enhancing the quality of life for Stonecrest residents, ensuring that infrastructure improvements meet the growing needs of the community.
