The McDonough City Council voted at its July 7 regular meeting to approve two resolutions in support of Henry County’s joint transportation plan and trails plan.

The council also approved authorization of a loan transaction related to a 2020 resolution passed by the city to assist local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The council voted to accept $50,417 in funding assistance from Georgia Power for charging system infrastructure and approved a change in the city’s zoning ordinance regarding car wash facilities.

A $30,000 bid for a piece of city-owned property at 1261 McGarity Road was also approved.
