Projects
Protocol - McIntosh Parkway Progress
This project is the design and construction of a parkway that will connect Newnan Crossing Bypass to Greison Trail. This will alleviate much of the traffic that is now on Lower Fayetteville Road. Grant funds have been awarded through the SRTA GTIB. The funding source will be the Grant, SPLOST 2007, SPLOST 2013 and Impact Fees. The construction is UNDERWAY! Anticipated completion; late 2018 or early 2019.
The City went through a website redesign in the second quarter. It was time for a refresh on the site and some new options have been added such as the language translator and larger graphics that tell the story of the City.
What's new this quarter at Main Street ? It's all about the music this quarter!
What's new this quarter at Keep Newnan Beautiful and Street Department? Tire Amnesty Day

The Tire Amnesty event was held on June 10th and collected 465 tires. The Newnan Public Works Department assisted with the event by providing equipment and additional staff.
