Peachtree City wins international MarCom design awards and earns Tree City USA designation
Summary
City staff presented MarCom Awards honors — two platinum, two gold and an honorable mention — and Bob Warner announced Peachtree City’s designation as a 2024 Tree City USA and receipt of the Georgia Tree Council’s Outstanding Community Grand Award.
Peachtree City officials used the council meeting to highlight recent honors for communications and urban-forest work. Vivian Lett, public communications manager, told the council the city submitted five entries to the MarCom Awards and received two platinum awards, two gold awards and an honorable mention from an international competition with thousands of submissions.
Lett highlighted specific winners: the city’s quarterly reports and a 65th‑anniversary challenge coin received platinum awards, the Navigate PTC app earned a gold award, and other in‑house design work earned recognition. She credited city staff including communications specialists and the executive‑services team for the submissions.
Bob Warner, the city’s urban forestry program manager, presented the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA designation for 2024 and said Peachtree City was named the Georgia Tree Council’s 2024 Outstanding Community Grand Award recipient. Warner cited council support, a new urban forestry manager position and a city budget line (over $300,000 annually) for tree planting and maintenance as factors in the recognition.
Warner said the awards reflect the city’s "commitment to enhancing the beauty, health, sustainability, and preservation of the city's urban forest" and credited volunteers and staff.
The presentations concluded with a photo opportunity for council and staff; no council action was required.
