Toccoa City commissioners, at tonight’s called meeting, voted once again to move forward with the Tugalo Greenspace project. Commissioner Michelle Jamieson was the sole dissenting vote. The vote was taken after commissioners heard from numerous citizens and small business owners from the downtown district, and in front of a standing-room-only commission meeting room that was unanimous in their support of the Greenspace project. WNEG news will provide in-depth coverage of the meeting and the decision into tomorrow’s news cycle.
