The Clarkesville City Council will meet Tuesday, June 18, for a special called meeting to discuss the proposed water line extension project in the Alec Mountain Road area and rename the Greenway Trail.
The water line extension has been a topic of discussion for several months. According to City Manager Keith Dickerson, the project came into being after several residents in the area requested the city for water service. Many of the residents are on wells and have experienced their wells running low or completely drying up during periods of drought.
The City Council will also consider renaming Clarkesville’s Greenway Trail to the Soque Greenway Trail.

The trail is adjacent to the Old Clarkesville Mill and is a half mile loop. It sits on 19 acres and offers views of meadows, wetlands, and the Soque River. The trail offers benches for walkers to take a break during their stroll to enjoy nature and the natural beauty of the area.
The Clarkesville City Council will meet on Tuesday, June 18, at 5 p.m. to take action on both matters. The meeting will be held at Clarkesville City Hall at 123 North Laurel Drive.
