The Locust Grove City Council voted unanimously at its March 1 regular meeting to approve a memorandum of agreement with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs’ Historic Preservation Division regarding the city’s 2021 historic resource survey. According to officials, successful completion of the survey will result in access to historic preservation grants. Using this approach with an MOA will allow the city to proceed without hiring an outside consultant when a qualified staff person or volunteer is able to conduct the survey in compliance with HPD standards.

In an unrelated agenda item, the council appointed Stephanie Epps to the Downtown Development Authority to fill the unexpired term of Cheryl Clevenger, who resigned March 1. The term expires Jan. 7, 2023.

Donald Trump's administration deployed the military to Washington, D.C., in the name of fighting crime, and in an Aug. 11 news conference he mentioned the possibility of military being sent to other large American cities, all of which are led by Black, Democratic mayors. And while Atlanta wasn't included in Trump's list, the city fits that profile under Mayor Andre Dickens. (Photo Illustration: Philip Robibero / AJC | Source: Getty)
