Peachtree City, City Council - Nov 5th, 2026

Peachtree City City Council meeting — November 5, 2026. Retail Strategies presented a review of its three-year retail recruitment partnership, reporting that limited available commercial space—not lack of demand—is the principal obstacle to attracting tenants. The presentation covered outreach to retailers and developers, vacancies and redevelopment opportunities, and site-access issues at proposed Malova Square; several prospective tenants there were at letter-of-intent or negotiation stage, but none were secured. Council discussed ways to support site readiness and smaller businesses, but took no procurement action on the partnership. Staff also reported receiving six proposals for the 2027 comprehensive plan update and expected to bring a contractor recommendation to council on November 19.

On capital projects, council unanimously approved continuing the 30% design of the Kedron aquatic center toward final design and bidding; staff said construction should be ready to begin after the high-school swim season, potentially in March or April. Design discussions focused on glazing, energy efficiency, structural costs, and revised seating and restroom plans. Staff presented a $234,500 proposal for 30% design of the Highway 54 East bridge project, with council discussing safety and crossing locations; the transcript does not capture a vote. Council also unanimously accepted a FY2027 donation for greenspace trail improvements and approved resolutions authorizing conveyance of small city-property parcels at six Archway Lane addresses, with purchase prices referenced in the resolutions but not stated in the transcript. A proposed employee performance-pay policy with an estimated first-year cost of $182,290 was discussed as a work session item, with no action taken.
