Summary

County Manager Thomas Weaver recommended using $813,251 in Hotel/Motel funds and parts of 2025 SPLOST proceeds to renovate a City Hall room into a welcome center, build a fishing pier and add powered campsites at Riverbend Park to attract visitors; commissioners asked staff to gather cost estimates and return with bids.

At the July 28 work session County Manager Thomas Weaver outlined several projects he recommended for Hotel/Motel and SPLOST budgets: renovate a City Hall space into a visitor welcome center that could host the chamber of commerce, repair a room at City Hall, build a fishing pier at Riverbend Park, and create campsites with power and septic to attract overnight visitors.

Weaver said the county has a Hotel/Motel balance of $813,251.00 and has collected more than $500,000 in the 2025 SPLOST to date. He asked staff to obtain quotes for the City Hall repairs, the fishing dock and campsite utilities and suggested part‑time weekend staffing for visitor services. "We have the funding lets get these projects going," Weaver told the commission.
