Summary
The authority voted to contribute $35,000 (a 20% share) to a new Downtown LaGrange master plan after a presentation describing a six-month public-engagement and market-analysis process; the motion passed by show of hands.
The Troup County Development Authority voted to provide $35,000 toward a new Downtown LaGrange master plan, a representative said during a special meeting. The motion authorizing the authority to "participate in funding LaGrange Town downtown master plan in the amount of $35,000 subject to available funds and terms acceptable to the authority" was moved by a committee member and seconded, and the chair said the motion carried by a show of hands.
Bill Honeycutt, who said he runs the Downtown Development Authority in LaGrange, told the authority the last downtown plan dates to about 2000 and that the community needs an updated roadmap. "The downtown LaGrange is the heartbeat of this community," Honeycutt said, asking the authority to cover a 20% share of the plan's cost. The motion includes authorization for the chairman and secretary to take any actions necessary to carry out the approval. The transcript records no roll-call tally; the approval was by show of hands.
