COVINGTON, Ga. — County planning commissioners opposed changes to zoning for one new multi-family project and narrowly approved another Tuesday.
The Newton County Planning Commission unanimously voted to deny a rezoning for construction of 120 townhomes on Fairview Road, and narrowly voted to recommend a change in the Future Land Use Map to allow future townhome construction targeting senior renters on Georgia Hwy. 142.
