McDonough Council to Consider Major Annexation, Rezoning on Racetrack Road

McDonough’s City Council is set to discuss and possibly vote on a request to annex and rezone nearly 79 acres along Racetrack Road, the most consequential item on the agenda for the July 2, 2026, general meeting. The property, located at 964 and 820 Racetrack Road, would be reclassified as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) under case number 260307. The agenda also includes a paving contract, traffic-signal authorizations, a cyber-insurance payment, and a fire-department promotion. Official minutes from the meeting had not been published as of July 5, so no votes or final decisions are yet recorded.

Paving Contract for Lakemont Drive

Council will consider awarding a $94,498 contract for milling and overlay work on Lakemont Drive. The project is intended to resurface the roadway.

Traffic Signal Upgrades

Two Georgia Department of Transportation requests are on the table: authorization to install advance warning flashers at the intersection of State Route 42 and Lawrenceville Street, and approval of a new traffic signal at State Route 155 and Old Griffin Road. If approved, these would be state-managed improvements.

Cyber Insurance Payment

The council will review a payment of $12,280 for excess cyber security coverage, an expenditure likely tied to the city’s data-protection policies.

Fire Department Promotion

A personnel action listed on the agenda is a promotion within the fire department. No further details were available in the meeting summary.
