DDA ratifies revised underground easement with Georgia Power for town center utilities
Summary
The Downtown Development Authority approved a revised underground easement with Georgia Power to relocate underground power cable routing in the Town Center after the Walton Building's orientation conflicted with the original plan; the revision follows coordination with the master developer and Walton.
The Downtown Development Authority of Holly Springs approved a revised underground easement with Georgia Power Company to allow underground power cables, transformers, service pedestals and related equipment in the town center.
Board members were told the DDA originally approved the easement in January, but the orientation and size of the Walton Building conflicted with that original easement. Speaker 5 told the board the easement revision reflects a new pathway for the underground power cable that the master developer and Georgia Power planned together; Georgia Power may begin work once all parties, including Walton, approve the change.
Speaker 5 also noted that the Holly Springs City Council previously approved a related easement for city property and ratified the mayor's signature at its Dec. 15 meeting. After brief discussion with no questions from members, Speaker 2 moved to approve the revised easement and Speaker 1 seconded; the motion was approved by voice vote and declared passed.
The revision repositions utility infrastructure within the Town Center District to accommodate the Walton Building configuration. The transcript does not provide construction start dates or a detailed work schedule; Georgia Power and the master developer were identified as the responsible parties to proceed once final approvals are in place.
