<div>On Monday, November 9, Toccoa City Manager Fredda Wheeler presented planning for a utilities complex to the Toccoa City Commission.Several months ago, a fire destroyed the City of Toccoa Water Department’s facility on Falls Road. The water department has temporarily relocated to a space at City Hall, but it needs a permanent facility to meet its ongoing operational requirements. The City is also paying Norfolk Southern $25,000 annually to lease property on Locust Street to support the City of Toccoa Gas Department’s operational needs.Wheeler explained that these issues have increased the need for a utilities complex.“So rather than continuing to accrue this recurring expense while also addressing the water department’s need for a permanent facility, staff believes it would be beneficial to explore the development of a combined utility complex that would accommodate the operational needs of both the water and the gas departments. The proposed Rose Lane location is within the City’s existing Eastanollee Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant property, and it presents an opportunity to consolidate the utility operations on city-owned property, provide appropriate space for equipment, vehicles, and storage, and also to establish a long-term solution for facility needs of both departments. Staff is requesting authorization from the City Commission to proceed with preliminary planning and the development of a proposed water and gas utilities complex on Rose Lane. This initial phase would allow staff to evaluate the site’s suitability, the facility requirements, and the conceptual layout, and the anticipated costs before returning to the Commission with more detailed information and recommendations for consideration.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Toccoa City Commission unanimously approved the preliminary planning for a utilities complex that would provide a permanent site in a central location of the City.</div>
