Fort Valley City Council Votes in Favor of Tearing Down Old Coke Building to Make Way for Wendy’s

FORT VALLEY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – After nearly an hour of back and forth between concerned residents and a potential developer, Fort Valley City Council decided the old Coca Cola bottling plant is not a part of the historic district. Council has no right to put restrictions on what a developer does with it’s design.

It was clerical error, that led to this loss for the Historical Preservation Commission.

“Instead of 309 Camellia Boulevard it was listed as 215 Camellia Boulevard,” says Connie Rainey, H.P.C.

That address mix-up left the Coke building off the map of the National Register’s list of historic places in Fort Valley.
