“If you build it, they will come,” Newnan’s New Piedmont Hospital will soon be a reality!

“If you build it, they will come,” Newnan’s New Piedmont Hospital will soon be a reality!The economic foundation of any community is jobs. And jobs in the healthcare sector are considered to be some strongest in terms on both longevity and compensation.

So the Newnan Piedmont Hospital will provide a much-needed boost to an economy that has suffered a significant slowdown over the last few years.

There were several snags and roadblocks along the way, including a halt on construction as some of kinks were worked out on the project. But the hospital will be a reality soon, thanks to persistence and the skill of construction crews erecting the facility.

In addition to the hospital, a new Cancer Center is also being constructed, and soon Newnan will become a Mecca for those seeking superior healthcare services.

And the thousands of people that will be working there will need housing. I would not be surprised at all to see inventory level off in the next two years.

Coweta County is on the road to economic recovery and the Newnan Piedmont Hospital is playing a huge role in that effort.

And it can’t happen soon enough for me!

Coweta County is now a “destination,” thanks to Chattahoochee Bend State Park!

Chattahoochee Bend State park in Coweta County GAIn just a few short weeks since it has opened, Chattahoochee Bend State Park has transformed Newnan and Coweta County into a “destination!”

People now flock to visit this natural treasure which is now open to the public. And it’s not just people from around the state of Georgia either. I have seen license plates from many states and Canada in the park since opening day.

Chattahoochee Bend State Park is not just an amenity. It will now play a major role in the future of the county.

No longer will I have to explain where Coweta County is located or what we have to offer, From now on, many will find our beautiful area on their own!

And while they are here, many will like what they see. And some will even want to stay!

And even though completion of all of the facilities of the park is still ten years distant, there is still plenty to see and do right now, from kayaking to hiking to camping and fishing and anything else that one can imagine in 2900 acres of forest bounded by seven miles of river shoreline!

The destinies of Chattahoochee Bend State Park and Coweta County are now inescapably intertwined.

And the future for both looks very bright!

Enjoying the“Typical” Southern Summer!

Enjoying the“Typical” Southern Summer!Summer in Georgia is always hot, that’s a given! But the typical Summer weather pattern is one of both heat and humidity.

That translates into hot days, and muggy nights punctuated with late afternoon and early evening thunderstorms.

And typically that continues into October when the nights cool and the air dries out a bit. The only respite from the constant and oppressive heat is the sanctuary of the air-conditioned structure!

This kind of weather leads to jungle-like growth in the garden, and it’s hard to control unwanted weeds and volunteer plants as nearly perfect growing conditions occur. It’s a time of lush growth and various shades of the color green are everywhere!

No drought, no floods, just day after day of a tropical atmosphere that is the legendary backdrop of the Southern novel.

It’s hot, and if you don’t like it there’s only one thing that you can do about it:

Learn to love it!

The many places and faces of Coweta County Georgia!

The many places and faces of Coweta County!I was out “in the county” yesterday previewing some properties. Coweta County Georgiais one of those locales that takes you directly from urban to rural is a few short miles.

Much of the Eastern part of the county is Atlanta suburbia, with its accompanying tract houses and strip malls!

Downtown Newnan is still classic small town America, with a center “Square” and shops, restaurants, and parks all within walking distance.

As you move beyond town, the county is very rural, with pastoral landscapes, grazing livestock, and a new state park!

Since it appeals to such a broad range of lifestyles, Coweta County offers something for every taste and preference!

And it is certainly worth a look to all considering a move to the Greater Atlanta area!
