Summary
The Newton County Commission approved a Sunbelt Builders amendment of $808,200 to renovate Nelson Heights Community Center and directed staff to return within 60 days with a detailed plan for how the center will be operated and held accountable.
The Newton County Board of Commissioners voted to move forward with renovations at Nelson Heights Community Center, approving a $808,200 contract amendment with Sunbelt Builders and requiring staff to return with a detailed operational plan within 60 days.
The commissioners debated the scope and cost of work before approving a substitute motion by Commissioner Stephanie Lindsey that paired contract authorization with a timeline for community engagement and operational details. "The substitute motion is to vote to approve the $808,200 as presented by Sunbelt Builders for the renovation, and to set a time period of 60 days to be able to come back to the board of commissioners with a plan on how Nelson Heights Community Center is going to be run-in detail," Lindsey said during debate.
