Historic-resources plan gets a $50,000 estimate—and a 2029–30 target

Chattahoochee Hills’ adopted October 2026 comprehensive plan puts development of a historic-resources plan on the 2029–2030 work schedule, with an estimated cost of staff time plus $50,000. The General Fund and grants are listed as funding sources. That figure is a planning estimate, not a stated repair budget.⁠[1]

The plan also offers a candid assessment of the city’s historic-property work: officials have documented the significance of city-owned properties, but “little progress has been made to determine a path forward for their use and maintenance.”⁠[1]

One concrete need is at St. Paul AME Cemetery. The plan describes largely overgrown grounds where scattered markers and grave depressions indicate numerous burials, and says a formal survey is needed to document them.⁠[1]

Maintenance has its own longer-term entries. The work program places development of maintenance-and-operations plans for all city-owned historic sites in 2029–2031. It lists staff time as the estimated cost, the General Fund and grants as funding sources, and city departments and the parks and historic preservation commissions among the responsible parties.⁠[1]

Those dates add detail to the historic-property upkeep priorities we previously reported. They do not mean all preservation work will wait until 2029: the plan’s status report labels both historic-resources planning and historic-site maintenance planning “ongoing,” and says archaeological and structural studies have already been conducted.⁠[1][2]
