PORTERDALE, Ga. — The city of Porterdale has finally sealed the deal on a parking lot located at 1501 Main St.At the city council’s voting session on Sept. 8, the council moved to accept the closing document, cementing their ownership of the lot. The Maddox family utilized the lot as parking for its business, but permitted city visitors to park in it as they visited downtown as well. So we’re working with GDOT to make sure that our timing on the parking lot remodel fits their timing.”Patterson described the parking lot as a long-sought venture. “I also believe too that the parking lot holds a lot more value than the dollar. It has value in the relationship that the city is now building back with the Maddox family,” Patterson said.
