The Newnan City Council on Sept. 23 approved two event-related requests: permission for the Coweta Grand Prix to return in 2026 and a temporary closure of Madison Street on Oct. 4, 2025 for a market.
City staff told the council the Coweta Grand Prix request comes from the Coweta County Community Foundation and would be the third year the event is held; the council approved the event by motion and voice vote.
The council also approved a request from Ansley Murray to close Madison Street between Jackson Street and Jefferson Street on Oct. 4, 2025, from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for a craft-and-brew market. The motion to approve the street closure carried by voice vote; no public opposition or additional conditions were recorded.
The meeting record does not include permit numbers, street-closure mitigation plans (e.g., detour routing or security details) or bond/insurance information; staff indicated they would process the permits as presented. Neither item produced extended debate during the meeting.
