Summary

The IGA lists $9.2 million in Dawsonville projects, led by $5.85 million for downtown facilities improvements and revitalization; the city asked for a correction to the draft agreement to reflect the $9.2M total.

The City of Dawsonville’s proposed projects in the SPLOST VIII Intergovernmental Agreement total $9,200,000. The largest single city line item is municipal downtown facilities improvements and revitalization at $5,850,000. Other items include public safety ($450,000), roadway and sidewalk paving in Burt’s Crossing ($800,000), water-source and utility improvements ($800,000), facilities and equipment ($500,000), and municipal complex repairs ($800,000).

City Manager Jacob Evans read the city project list aloud and pointed out that the intergovernmental agreement draft inadvertently listed the city total as $9,320,000; the bodies corrected the figure to $9,200,000 before approving the agreement. The city will receive its share of SPLOST proceeds monthly from the county if voters approve SPLOST VIII.
