Seats open on Peachtree City tourism and planning boards

Two volunteer boards in Peachtree City have openings for qualified residents. The five-member Convention & Visitors Bureau has an open seat for someone who currently conducts business in the city or has previous tourism/hospitality-related experience. The term begins Oct. 1 and expires on Sept. 30, 2022; meetings are held at 9 a.m. on the third Wednesday of every other month at the CVB office at 191 McIntosh Trail.

The five-member Peachtree City Planning Commission also has an open seat for a term that begins Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30, 2023. The board meets at 7 p.m. on the second Monday of each month to review site and landscape plans, zoning and annexation requests and related development and land use issues. Members must attend at least 80 percent of board meetings, as well as training classes and other meetings paid for by the city.

Applications for both positions are under the Jobs tab at www.peachtree-city.org, and must be submitted by Sept. 4.
