Construction has begun on Fayetteville’s Courthouse Square to convert an underused highway lane into additional on-street parking spaces and safer pedestrian access while resulting in better vehicle traffic movement through the area. City leaders say the results will benefit the public as well as businesses located immediately around the Historic Fayette County Courthouse.
Crews recently began digging up the left lane of Stonewall Avenue (Highway 54 eastbound) adjacent to the Courthouse and Fayetteville First United Methodist Church. In its place, crews are installing a combination of angled and parallel parking spaces, upgraded sidewalks and crosswalks, and new landscaping.

Construction on the new Fayetteville City Hall has come a long way, and project managers say city personnel will move into the new building by the summer of 2021. So what will happen to the old City Hall on South Glynn Street when those personnel move out of it?
“That’s the big question we’ve gotten a lot this year,” said Fayetteville City Manager Ray Gibson. “The first question we’ve gotten for the last two years is, ‘When are you going to be in the new City Hall building?’ And lately, more people want to know what we’re going to do with our existing one.”
