Gordon County secures roughly $1 million in SPLOST funds for Sugar Valley School community project
Summary
Commissioners reported the county has allocated approximately $1 million in SPLOST funds for renovation or construction tied to the Sugar Valley School project; community meetings are ongoing and restoration of the old school remains a possibility.
County staff told the Historic Preservation Commission on June 1 that Gordon County has secured approximately $1 million in SPLOST funds to renovate or build a community center associated with the Sugar Valley School project.
Tony Ross, Planning & Development staff, said community meetings on the project are ongoing and that officials are considering restoring the old school building, though the school’s front rock wall is in poor condition and will require repair or replacement. The project’s funding source was identified as SPLOST; staff characterized the $1 million figure as approximate.
Commissioners discussed training and other priorities but did not take formal action on the Sugar Valley School plans at the meeting. The project will proceed through additional community engagement and county planning steps before construction decisions are finalized.
