The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners voted 3-0 on Jan. 27 to allocate $900,000 in American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds for sewer expansion to serve a proposed housing development in Cohutta.
Commissioner John Thomas moved to approve the allocation; Commissioner Barry W. Robbins seconded. Chairman Jevin Jensen and Commissioners Thomas and Robbins voted in favor; Commissioners Robby Staten and Greg Jones were recorded as absent.
The board’s approval makes the allocation expressly contingent on the developer, Three Point Development, LLC of Chattanooga, Tennessee, closing on a roughly 400-acre property on Strain Road off Cleveland Highway. The board’s action does not specify a construction or completion timeline for the sewer work.
The funding was described in the minutes as coming from American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds. The motion and the contingency tie the county allocation to the developer’s closing; the minutes do not indicate any additional conditions, a project schedule, or the authority that will manage construction.
The board took the action during a special called meeting at Edwards Park Community Center in Dalton and adjourned after completing business.
