City Council approves 2024-2028 capital improvements report for DCA and ARC

The City Council of Woodstock, Georgia, convened a special meeting on June 25, 2025, to finalize updates to the capital improvements element and short-term work program, a crucial requirement for maintaining the city’s qualified local government (QLG) status. This status is essential for the city to remain competitive for grant funding and to apply for plan first certification.

Tracy Albers from the community development department presented the updates, highlighting the necessity of submitting these reports to the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) by June 30. The council received a green light from both agencies, with only advisory comments that do not require immediate changes to the documents.

Key accomplishments included in the report were the kickoff for construction at Little River Park, the execution of the Dupree Park master plan, and various infrastructure improvements. The council unanimously approved the final report, ensuring the city’s compliance and eligibility for future funding opportunities.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting the council's efficient handling of the agenda. The swift approval of the report underscores Woodstock's commitment to ongoing development and community enhancement.
