Design team returns
for Phase II briefing
By DON MONCRIEF
Journal Managing Editor
Whether people felt they had seen enough from the first
two visits, or that they weren’t going to see anything new,
the third visit by the Urban Design Association team to
Warner Robins was sparsely attended.
At the first two meetings, at least 100 residents came out
and even provided input. Thursday night at the civic center
the number barely reached 40.
This visit, explained Paul Ostergaard, vice president for
the group out of Pittsburgh, Penn., represented Phase 111
of the project; the city is paying UDA $240,000 to come
up with a “master plan” for revitalizing Warner Robins.
From here he said the organization would develop a draft of
the master plan and provide it to the city council for their
input/approval. Soon to follow would be “the” master plan
but Ostergaard said it should not be defined as the end, but
the beginning.

Merit raises

WR may
bring the
hunt home
By DON MONCRIEF
Journal Managing Editor
There may be some
relief for hunters in the
city limits of Warner
Robins. No, not that it’s
all of a sudden become
open season everywhere
- “hunting in the city of
Warner Robins is a seri
ous offense,” said Mayor
Donald Walker during
Thursday’s work session
- but the city council is set
to have the first reading,
Monday during its regu
lar council meeting, on an
ordinance amending the
city code to allow “sport
hunting” and in accor
dance with state and city
laws (those to be defined
later) on parcels of land
containing 100 or more
acres of undeveloped real
property.
According to Walker,
there are two or three
areas in the city that fit
that description. The
city, he said, also has 544
acres over near Robins
Air Force Base. He said
90 of that was desig
nated for the G-RAMP
project but the other
might now - based on the
