✈️ Return to Normal

Good morning, Fayette County. There is a strange, blurry stretch of time right after New Year’s Day where the reality of the "real world" starts to settle back in. It’s that awkward week of finding your rhythm again. Getting the kids back into their school routines, diving back into the work grind, and finally remembering what day of the week it actually is.

If you’re feeling a bit of that post-holiday fog, you aren’t alone. This week’s Fayette Flyer is designed to be your compass as we navigate this transition together. While we’re all adjusting to our daily activities, the weather is giving us a gentle start with unseasonably warm temperatures, making those school drop-offs and afternoon errands just a little bit brighter. Let’s take a breath and ease into this routine together. Here is what you need to know to stay ahead of the curve this week in our community.

Fayette County’s North end is set for a major upgrade following a generous $100,000 donation from Georgia Power. The Board of Commissioners officially accepted the funds this week, which are earmarked specifically for enhancements at Kenwood Park. While the full list of amenities is still being finalized, the county plans to use the boost to improve recreation spaces and ensure the park remains a premier destination for families in Fayetteville and beyond.

Peachtree City rang in 2026 a few hours early this past week with its popular "Noon Year’s Eve" celebration. The event at The Avenue Peachtree City saw record-breaking attendance, with local families filling the green space for a mid-day balloon drop and dance party. It’s become a staple for parents who want their kids to experience the holiday excitement without the midnight bedtime, and organizers are already looking at ways to expand the footprint for next year's festivities.

The City of Fayetteville has opened applications to fill a critical vacancy on the Downtown Development Authority (DDA) / Main Street Tourism Board. The appointed individual will serve the remainder of an unexpired term ending December 31, 2028. City officials are looking for residents or business owners who are passionate about Fayetteville’s "smart growth" vision and want to play a direct role in shaping the revitalization of the downtown district.

As the community shakes off the holiday lull, our local government boards are back in action with several key sessions this week. Monday, January 5th, starts early with a Peachtree City Special Called City Council Work Session at 8:30 AM at City Hall to address administrative priorities. This will be followed by a SET Meeting on Tuesday at 10:30 AM as the city prepares for its 2026 project calendar.

Later in the week, Thursday, January 8th, features a busy evening for county and city leadership. The Fayette County Board of Commissioners will meet at 5:00 PM, where they are slated to accept a significant $100,000 donation from Georgia Power for Kenwood Park enhancements and approve new grants for Fire and Emergency Services. Shortly after, at 6:00 PM, the Fayetteville City Council will hold its rescheduled regular meeting (moved from New Year’s Day) at City Hall to officially kick off the city’s legislative agenda for the year.
