🚧 DOWNTOWN BUENA VISTA IS MOVING FORWARD! PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS!🚧

This week you will notice construction activity downtown, specifically on 4th Avenue. This work represents another important step in our effort to improve, revitalize, and bring new life to the City of Buena Vista.

Phase 1 of our Downtown Development Project is underway!

📅 August 17–31, 2026
💧 Phase 1: Water Line Relocation
📍 4th Avenue from Broad Street to McDuffie Street (in front of Foxhall, Coffee Club Southern Kitchen, Los Aztecas Mexican Restaurant, etc.)

During this phase, there will be temporary changes to traffic flow and parking in the construction area. Our downtown businesses will remain OPEN, and alternative parking spaces will be available.

Phase 2 (Street Resurfacing, Sidewalk Enhancements, etc.) will begin immediately afterwards. Construction plans will be shared at a later date.

I especially encourage everyone to continue supporting our downtown businesses during construction. Stop in. Shop. Eat. Visit. Spend locally. Construction may temporarily change where we park, but it should not stop us from supporting the businesses that serve our community. Patrons can use side streets for parking (i.e., Dr. Rainey Street, McDuffie Street, and other side streets).

We know construction can create inconveniences, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation. These temporary disruptions are part of making long-term improvements to our downtown and our city.

This is about more than streets, sidewalks, and water lines. It is about creating a downtown that attracts people, encourages investment, supports our existing businesses, and provides opportunities for new businesses and activities.

We are building today for a stronger tomorrow.

Thank you for believing in Buena Vista and supporting our progress.

Although tonight's fireworks show has been canceled, several vendors will still be set up around the square today offering great food, treats, crafts, and other unique items.

If you're out and about, please take a few minutes to stop by, say hello, and support these small businesses. They invested their time and resources to be here, and your support means a great deal.

Let's continue to show what makes Buena Vista such a caring and supportive community by shopping local and encouraging our vendors.

Thank you for supporting our local entrepreneurs and small businesses! ❤️

I am truly honored and humbled to have been elected and sworn in to serve on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Municipal Association (GMA). I am also honored to serve as President of GMA District 8.

GMA is the only statewide organization representing municipal governments in Georgia. Its 66-member Board of Directors provides leadership for an association that serves more than 536 cities across our great state.

Serving on the GMA Board gives me the opportunity to ensure that the voices of Buena Vista and the cities of District 8 are heard as important decisions are made that impact municipalities across Georgia. I am committed to representing our communities with integrity, collaboration, and a focus on strengthening local government.

This opportunity is about more than serving in a leadership position. It is about ensuring that rural communities have a strong voice, building partnerships that strengthen our cities, and helping shape policies that improve the quality of life for Georgians.

Together, we will continue moving Georgia's cities forward.
