The Locust Grove City Council took action Jan. 6 at its first regular meeting of the year to reappoint three members of the Downtown Development Authority along with one new member.

Returning to the authority are Ken Dickey, Otis Hammock and Jeff Mills. Sherry Moon was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Linda King, who stepped down at the end of 2019. Betty Shearouse was reappointed to the Historic Preservation Commission. The council also approved a resolution creating a streetlight district in the first phase of Derringstone Manor in Locust Grove Station subdivision. The 77 lots will be served by 12 lights, which will cost $24.55 per year per lot to operate and maintain.

An application was received from 65 lot owners, representing 84 percent of the total neighborhood.
