MMOUNT AIRY, Ga. — The Town of Mt. Airy has several projects underway as local leaders focus on redevelopment, infrastructure improvements and long-term growth planning.
Mayor Adam Tullis said the town is currently in the process of selecting a civil engineer to assist with designing a septic system for the downtown redevelopment project. That design will help determine the appropriate size and scope of a future building planned for the site, marking a key step in moving the project closer to construction.
In addition to downtown planning, Mt. Airy is preparing to begin updating its subdivision ordinances. The revisions are intended to better manage and guide future development in a way that aligns with the town’s long-term goals. Town officials hope the updates will provide clearer standards for growth while maintaining the character of the community.
Public Works crews are also working on improvements throughout town. New street signs have been ordered, with installation expected to begin soon, starting on Dicks Hill. Crews will continue cleaning up rights-of-way across Mt. Airy to improve both safety and overall appearance.
Later this year, the town anticipates requesting bids for resurfacing and repaving Wilson Road, a project aimed at maintaining infrastructure and improving driving conditions for residents.
With multiple initiatives in motion, Mt. Airy leaders say they remain focused on steady progress — balancing redevelopment, infrastructure needs and responsible growth planning.
