According to a press release by Atlanta Gear Works, MiTek will help the gearbox and manufac turing firm “spread its 34-year reputation in pulp and paper to the steel and aluminum industries”. “Atlanta Gear Works is a leader in the pulp and paper industry,” MiTek President Cory McClain said in the release. “We’re looking forward to offer ing their same exception al service and support to our contacts in steel and aluminum.” MiTek has been in business since 1987 and is headquartered in Alabaster, Alabama. The company has extensive contacts with mechanical maintenance decision makers in steel and alu minum rolling mills throughout the southeast United States, and MiTek’s exclusive territo ry will include Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Texas and southern Indiana. “We were pleased that MiTek became available to help us grow our rela tions with the steel indus try,” Atlanta Gear Works Vice President of Sales Craig Massa said in the release. “Their 30-year experience with steel will help us better serve our steel customers.” According to the release, the agreement comes at a time when U.S. steel capacity is expected to increase even as prices drop, therefore increasing mills’ need for gearbox repair services. “Given this forecast, the timing for bringing MiTek on board is opti mal and should enable us to maintain and even grow our market share of the industry, no matter what happens in the wider economy,” Massa said. The release added that Atlanta Gear Works will back its service to the steel and aluminum industries with the same promise that it has built its reputation in other industries on: “Any make, any model, anywhere, anytime, repaired or reverse-engineered to equal or better quality.

City of Dawsonville to conduct impact fee study This is not a commitment by the city to incur or adopt impactfees, but what they will provide us is with a document that will allow us to review it and then determine if we wish to proceed with impactfees and draft the ordinance from this document.' Mike Eason, Dawsonville Mayor By Erica Jones ejones@dawsonnews.com During the Sept. 19 meeting of the Dawsonville City Council, council mem bers voted to approve an agreement with the Georgia Mountain Regional Commission to conduct an impact fee study in the upcoming months. Impact fees are fees imposed on project devel opers to allow the devel oper to pay for all or a portion of the costs of providing public services to a new development. Currently, the city does not impose impact fees on developers. During the meeting, Dawsonville Mayor Mike Eason explained that approving the agreement with the Georgia Mountain Regional Commission (GMRC) isn’t the same thing as approving impact fees, but that the GMRC would conduct a study to help the city decide whether or not to consider putting impact fees in place. “This is not a commit ment by the city to incur or adopt impact fees, but what they will provide us is with a document that will allow us to review it and then determine if we wish to proceed with impact fees and draft the ordinance from this docu ment,” Eason said. Eason said that the city has had several bids on the project, but that the GMRC’s bid was the best. The cost to the city to conduct the study will be $15,000, and the docu ment provided by the GMRC at the end of the study will be a “full-ser vice document”, he added, so the city wouldn’t have to go back to the GMRC after the completion of the study. The city council voted unanimously to approve the agreement with the GMRC to move forward with the impact fee study.
