Paulding County commissioners approve road acquisition, stormwater contract, grants and zoning items

Paulding County commissioners on an otherwise routine February session approved a slate of contracts, a state grant, a small supplemental engineering agreement and several planning items, including a rezoning and a site‑plan/stipulation package for new housing.

The board voted to award a stormwater maintenance contract for work at 336 Pine Way to Artico Construction, LLC, approve a $96,500 tire‑collection grant from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources’ Environmental Protection Division, authorize a $20,000 supplemental engineering agreement for preliminary design on the 7 Hills Boulevard/Gulick Road realignment and adopt a resolution to acquire real estate for the Cedar Crest Road widening project (PI 001370). The board also approved planning‑and‑zoning recommendations that included a Pulte Homes site‑plan/stipulation amendment for up to 51 single‑family detached homes in an R‑55 active adult district and a rezoning and special‑use permit for a small self‑storage development proposed by Haven Dallas 1 LLC.

Why it matters: The contract awards and grant affect stormwater maintenance and waste‑tire handling capacity in Paulding County; the engineering agreement and property acquisition are steps toward a road‑widening project, and the planning approvals change allowed land uses and development intensity in specific Post districts of the county.
