Council approves demolition of small structure at 28 East Washington Street

The Newnan City Council on an uncontested public hearing approved demolition of a small wood‑frame structure at 28 East Washington Street, a parcel the county owns that contains two buildings. County representative Michael Fouts told the council the building has been vacant since environmental health relocated and the county seeks to clear the lot for parking and to support renovations for an on‑site employee clinic.

Staff opened the hearing, confirmed no members of the public had signed up to speak against the demolition, and the council closed the hearing before voting to approve the request. The council took no additional conditions beyond the standard permitting requirements.

The motion carried with no public opposition recorded. The county and city will proceed with the demolition permitting and any site work required to accommodate parking and the planned clinic.
