COVINGTON, Ga. The county’s new Public Facilities Authority indicated it may not allow a financing plan for a new east Newton fire station to move forward until projects Democratic members favored also were funded.
Authority members on Tuesday, Jan. 19, voted 3-2 to delay action for 30 days on recommending the only funding source available for the planned Station No. 4 for Newton County Fire Services.
