Hogansville council reviews $139,545 Clock Park concept, flags funding questions
Summary
Council reviewed a concept for a small Clock Park — five parking spaces plus one handicap spot, community garden and donated clock — with an estimated cost of $139,545 and $100,000 already available from a prior SPLOST; council discussed using new SPLOST funds for the remainder.
The Hogansville City Council reviewed a concept drawing for a proposed Clock Park that would include benches, an enhanced gateway, brick pavers and a small parking lot with five standard spaces and one handicap space.
The packet lists an estimated construction cost of $139,545. The council noted $100,000 has been approved from a prior SPLOST allocation and discussed the possibility of allocating roughly $39,000 from the new SPLOST to cover the balance. Council members also discussed site features including a community garden area, a donated clock installation and a mural to cover exposed brick on an existing stone wall. Staff noted some elements would require ongoing low-maintenance plantings and annual upkeep.
Council members raised additional implementation considerations, including potential development access via stairs that would require Department of Transportation permitting. No formal motion or vote was recorded at the work session; council directed staff to continue design refinement and to identify permitting needs and cost refinements for a future meeting.
