Announcement of OneGeorgia Equity Awards for Region 6
City of
Byron
$450,000 grant
to assist with wastewater treatment system improvements to include
connecting the area east of I-75 and south of GA Hwy 49 on Byron's
system to the Warner Robins system via a two-mile 8-inch force
main along Hwy 49. The project will immediately expand industrial
wastewater capacity
for the North Peach Industrial Park and commercial arteries along
Hwy 49. It will also alleviate the burden the geographical area
places on Byron's existing system, currently under an EPD consent
order.
Middle
Georgia Regional Development Authority (Peach, Pulaski & Houston
Counties)
$125,198 grant
to assist Phase II, the construction of four one-half acre outdoor
freshwater ponds in Pulaski County to further explore the feasibility
and cultivation of marine shrimp in an inland farm environment.

an indoor environment in Perry, Georgia. The project has the opportunity
to develop a new industry with strong regional impact, providing
a viable option to traditional farming for Georgia's Farmers.

Georgia Heritage Grant Program
The award recipients for 2001 are:
Hubbard
School, Forsyth, Monroe County - $9,000 The Hubbard School
was originally constructed in 1934 to serve as the women's dormitory
on the campus of the State Teachers and Agricultural College (STAC),
which, at that time, was the official school for the instruction
of African American teachers and one of three black colleges included
in the University System of Georgia. After STAC closed, the dorm
building housed teachers on the upper story and overflow classroom
space for the Hubbard Elementary and the Hubbard High School on
the first floor from 1939 and 1970. Grant money will be used to
produce a master plan to guide the Hubbard Alumni in their restoration
efforts. Once rehabilitation is complete, the Alumni Association
plans to use the building as an African American museum and cultural
center.
Monroe County Courthouse, Forsyth, Monroe County - $12,000
Designed by Atlanta architects Bruce and Morgan, this high Victorian
courthouse was built in 1896. Grant funding will produce a master
plan for the building's preservation, restoration and future use.
Putnam
County Jail, Eatonton Historic District, Eatonton, Putnam County
- $16,100 Designed in colonial revival style by the Macon architectural
firm of Dennis and Dennis, this jail, built in 1938, housed cells,
a processing office and private residence of the sheriff and his
family. Since the 1990's, the building has been used as a county
records management facility. Grant funds will be used to repair
the roof to secure the building from further water infiltration.
August 14th ONEGeorgia Equity Announcement for Region 6
