Location of Warner Robins Welcome Center Vexes Council
Wednesday, February 18th, 2015
Warner Robins City Council members balked at a proposal that would have allowed a welcome center to be built away from Interstate 75.
The proposal was stripped from the agenda after a raucous precouncil meeting after council members heard that the Warner Robins Convention & Visitors Bureau knew nothing about the plan.
Kristi Minor, interim city clerk and assistant city attorney, said time was running short because the General Assembly would have to approve a change to the requirement that the welcome center be “located in the vicinity of the I-75/Russell Parkway intersection.” That language previously had been approved by state legislators.
