City of Patterson hoping to repurpose old forestry building

The City of Patterson is in the process obtaining the recently de-commissioned Georgia Forestry Unit office on Main Street (Georgia Highway 32).

Patterson Mayor Dedi Thomas said at Thursday’s city council meeting he has been in negotiations with the state properties commission to obtain the old Georgia Forestry Commission location.

Thomas said the City of Patterson would likely re-locate its fire department and public works building in the old forestry commission building.
