Mayor Rochelle Robinson sworn into GMA leadership; old city hall interior demolition begins
Summary
Chris Dixon reported on the Douglasville Impact podcast that Mayor Rochelle Robinson was sworn in as third vice president of the Georgia Municipal Association, a three-year leadership progression to the GMA presidency; Dixon also said fencing is up around the old city hall and interior demolition has begun while downtown businesses remain open.
Chris Dixon, Douglasville’s webmaster and a regular on the Douglasville Impact podcast, reported that Mayor Rochelle Robinson was sworn in at the Georgia Municipal Association annual convention as third vice president, a role that places her on a multi-year leadership track that culminates in the GMA presidency in 2029.
"Our mayor, Rochelle Robinson, was sworn in as the 3rd vice president of the Georgia Municipal Association," Dixon said, explaining the progression: she will serve as third vice president this year, move to second vice president the following year, then to first vice president, and ultimately serve as president in 2029.
Dixon also gave a local construction update: fencing is in place around the old city hall and interior demolition has started. He advised listeners that downtown businesses remain open and accessible despite the construction, but noted a small alleyway behind Fabiano’s may be temporarily closed during active work.
"Currently demoing the interiors in the building," Dixon said, adding that much of the work will be inside at first and that visible walls will likely come down as the process continues.
The update urged residents to use caution around the fenced area and noted that the city aims to keep as many downtown access points open as possible during the project. No formal schedule for completion or further council action was provided during the podcast segment.
