Officials praise Ritz attendance and flag regional water demand from Plant Vogtle
Summary
Vice-Mayor Michelle Jamieson reported 375 attendees at recent Ritz events and raised concerns about regional water demand, citing that Plant Vogtle is using 96 million gallons of water daily to cool operations, urging local conservation.
Vice-Mayor Michelle Jamieson told the Commission the Ritz has been heavily used, reporting roughly 375 attendees across recent events and crediting staff for the venue's progress. She described the turnout as "a true reflection on the progress being made at the Ritz" and thanked department staff for their work keeping the facility booked.
Jamieson also summarized discussions from the Georgia Upper Savannah Partnership Summit, noting regional water pressures tied to large users. She stated that "Plant Vogtle is using 96 million gallons of water daily to cool that plant," and urged local conservation and preparedness because regional facilities may call on city resources. Commissioners welcomed the positive usage at the Ritz and thanked staff and volunteers who support programming there.
