A message from your City Manager .…

We hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather. This month we celebrate Water Professional’s Week, Municipal Clerk’s Week, and Public Works Week. Proclamations and art contests with the local school were celebrated. The City is fortunate to be staffed by professionals, by outstanding employees who demonstrate integrity, servant hood with humility, customer-focused service, stewardship, innovation, and a constant pursuit of excellence.

The Amicalola Regional Farmers Market opened on April 26th and will be open every Saturday into October. On May 9th, we hosted our first Food Truck Friday of the season that included an inflatable obstacle course and toddler bouncy house, and vendors including Voodoo Daddy Seafood, Sweet Cheeks BBQ, Old Dad’s Wings, Burger 21, Southern Scoops Ice Cream, Artisan Heritage Sourdough & Desserts, and live music. Dates have been set for the remainder of the food truck nights in 2025 and include June 6th, July 11th, August 1st, September 12th, and October 10th. Our Christmas Tree Lighting, Parade, Jingle Market, Santa, entertainment, and food trucks will be on November 22nd.

New lights have been installed on the basketball court in Main Street Park. The construction of Shelter #4 and a restroom to serve the court area is underway. Every elementary school in the county except one has had year-end activities within Main Street Park. This includes the much-appreciated Discovery Service Day carried out by the Robinson Elementary 5th graders. You may have noticed the fabulous renovation of the patio adjacent to City Hall. Come and check out this new outdoor area for the community to enjoy.

Due to recent vandalism, we have installed security cameras with license plate readers at the park and the Farmers Market.
This month, we had our first meeting regarding the $2 million grant from GDOT for roundabouts at Hwy. 9S and Perimeter Road and Hwy. 53 E and Allen Street. We have bid openings scheduled for our wastewater treatment plant and the paving of Maple Street.

Congratulations to this year’s high school graduates and each of the spring sports teams that had very successful state tournament seasons. Please take time to remember all the veterans that gave their lives for our freedom as we celebrate Memorial Day 2025.
