Johnson City commissioners will hold a closed-door meeting Tuesday to discuss a report concerning City Manager Pete Peterson.
The city in October engaged an outside attorney to investigate complaints from a fire department employee who says Peterson threatened his employment after the employee looped a state official in on a conversation about housing homeless people with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) at the Ashe Street Courthouse.
In an official complaint submitted in September, fire prevention officer Roger Davis cited a handful of emails from Peterson, including one in which Peterson said, âI have no need for employees who create problems.â
Peterson also emailed Fire Chief Jim Stables, who the city recently announced would be resigning, saying, âTell Roger he is on my s list!!! No need to get State involved and copy him on an email.â
Multi-million dollar housing project underway in Tifton
Multi-million dollar housing project underway in Tifton By Bobby Poitevint | December 22, 2020 at 11:47 PM EST - Updated December 23 at 12:29 AM
TIFTON, Ga. (WALB) - An over $12 million housing project is in the works now in Tifton.
Right now, the site is clear and construction on the project should start in May or June of next year.
Half of the 56 unit residential development will be available for people with low incomes and the other half will be available to the public at the market rate.
The idea behind this is to secure rental income for high-risk development and to inspire different types of people to grow and learn from each other for the good of the community.
