New Businesses in Hawkinsville!
My favorite part of the Hawkinsville City Commission meetings is approving new business licenses. New businesses mean new jobs. New utilities. New businesses paying taxes. People making money mean people spend money in town. Win – Win – Win.
Check out these businesses that are getting approved on Monday night. And then visit/employ them! Shop Hawkinsville First!

City of Hawkinsville Cemetery
I just left a funeral and graveside at Orange Hill Cemetery. The Cemetery is owned by the City of Hawkinsville. I was very upset to find the grass was knee high. It was very embarrassing. For any people at attendance, I want to personally apologize on behalf of the city. We have a city commission meeting Monday night and you can rest assured that this item will be HIGH on my agenda for that meeting. If you have anything that YOU think I ought to be bringing up at city council – post it as a comment here!

City of Hawkinsville ZONING MAPS
As of June, 2010, the City of Hawkinsville now has a complete new set of ZONING MAPS. The maps were produced by the Regional Commission for the city. Prior to these maps, if a person wanted to know what a particular parcel was zoned – good luck. You had to find the 30 year old zoning map and then go through years and years worth of zoning board minutes to see if it had ever been rezoned. It was ridiculous. Now, codes enforcement officer, Keith Carter, has the maps (along with city hall) and is diligent about keeping the maps current.
Although I have a lot of libertarian thoughts rattling in my head, I do believe that zoning laws are good. They help us manage our growth and have planned improvements in designated areas. It helps to protect property values of adjoining properties. It allows one to feel confident about the neighborhood or community in which they are investing their dollars.
The county has also followed suit and we know have zoning throughout Pulaski County as well.
