Joey Low to lead Tate Depot project
We sell and have installed a solid steel flush mount storm shelter.
These are built in Alabama, exceed FEMA Guidelines, are engineer
stamped, and are installed under your garage or carport floor —

can help you protect your family.
compared to the railroad track,"
Jones said. "When you change
the orientation, you've gotta have
your documentation of why you
want to change the orientation.
For all of that, there's still a lot of
questions out there."
Jones said architect Carter
Watkins is now looking at re-sit-
ing the depot to have a 45-degree
orientation to the railroad. So
sited it would face the old Tate
Drugstore from the opposite cor
ner diagonally.
"Carter Watkins is redrawing
the orientation," Jones said.
"[Howard] Bach [with More-
land-Altobelli] has been in con
tact with Baker [HPD] and
Carter Watkins. These conversa
tions are still going on."
"The Historic Preservation
Division is the one holding the
purse strings, and they will have-
-I'm assuming—the last say,"
Jones said. "If we don't do it ac
cording to what they want us to
do, they won't give us the
$800,000."
Before the depot can roll to its
new location, the county must
prepare the site that will receive
the building by adding earth fill
and compacting that before con
struction. But to receive reim
bursement for that work under
the two transportation grants des
ignated for the depot, documents
that make those grants official
must be signed first. That signing
now awaits a nod on the project
from HPD.
"I can't haul dirt until I have
an approval in writing from HPD
and Moreland-Altobelli," Jones
said.
Transportation enhancement
grants come strung with bureau
cratic red tape. "I can't risk the
$800,000," Jones said. "The pro
ject's got to be done a certain
way."
"It has been a headache,"
Jones allowed, where it comes to
complying with grant regula
tions. "What people do for
$800,000," he mused.
"It's not so black and white as
when you're looking from the
outside at what we've tried to do
on this thing," Jones said.
"I'm out to save the depot," he
said. "We're gonna get there. You
have to be persistent."

Diamond in the rough—the freight room of the Tate Depot still waits for official approval
of the Depot Project plan, so the structure can move to a new site for restoration.

Coimty Commissioner Robert
Jones has appointed Joey Low,
head of the county planning and
zoning department, to also coor
dinate the Tate Depot Project as
it goes forward. Tom Eubanks
has served as manager of the
project from its beginning, a role
to be adjusted with Low as the
new point man, Jones explained.
Jones officially informed Eu
banks of his decision to appoint
Low, in a letter to Eubanks dated
August 12. "I believe that having
Joey [Low] in this position of co
ordinating this project forward
will enable you to continue your
valuable work on this project
and, at the same time, provide
the project with the resources to
bring it to completion," the letter
read in part.
The change-up arrived in the
aftermath of a meeting at the Tate
Depot Monday, July 18, with of
ficials of the Georgia Department
of Natural Resources Historic
Preservation Division. HPD ar
chitectural review officer, Dean
Baker, and others from his office
arrived at the depot site to see
how plans to move the structure
and re-site it would play out on
the ground.
While Eubanks indicated an
expectation of simple approval
by Baker and HPD for the depot
re-siting plan, that did not hap
pen. Baker’s job is to determine
if a project complies with HPD
standards for preservation of his
toric structures. Baker explained,
standards that echo guidelines
formulated in Washington.
Because the Depot Project as
then planned called for the build
ing to be turned, no longer to be
facing the railroad once re-sited,
the project fell outside of accept
able HPD standards, Baker ex
plained.
Project architect Carter
Watkins drew the project origi
nally with the depot turned 90
degrees in relation to the rail
road. That was to make best use
of the site receiving the depot.
The land slopes steeply and will
require even more extensive
earth fill than originally foreseen
if the depot must be sited parallel
to the railroad.
Because HPD's approval is
necessary to secure the trans
portation enhancement grants
(two administered by Georgia
DOT for a combined $800,000)
poised to pay for the depot move
and restoration, HPD remains the
entity to please. Bringing Low on
as a full-time, county-paid con
tact on the project (and an engi
neer) is meant to streamline the
process of pleasing HPD to move
the project forward, Jones indi
cated.
"What they wanted—State
Historic Preservation, Moreland
Altobelli, DOT—they thought
they would rather have a contact
here close to me, where we
would have better communica
tion," Jones explained. Eubanks
managed the Depot Project as a
volunteer.
Moreland-Altobelli is a trans
portation consulting firm, con
tracted by DOT to oversee
compliance with stipulations of
transportation grants. As a grant
recipient, a local government
must comply with many require
ments to stay eligible for the fed
eral reimbursement that a
transportation enhancement
grant amounts to.
"Joey Low used to work for
DOT, so he knows the regs,"
Jones said. His adding Low to
lead the Depot Project should not
be read as a strike against Eu
banks, the commissioner said.
"It has nothing to do with
Tom's ability or anything like
that," Jones said. "Like I said in
the letter, Tom is doing a great
job. I really appreciate what Tom
has done. The letter speaks for it
self."
That said, Eubanks' new role
remains undefined, Jones indi
cated. "I don't know what Tom's
gonna do from this point on,"
Jones said. "As far as I'm con
cerned, Tom and Joey are still
there. I had to put Joey as the
contact."
"The project is still on go,"
Jones said. "There's gotta be
some more communication with
Historic Preservation Division
and the DOT. We'd like to get
this thing moving as quick as
possible."
"There's still being some dis
cussion on the 90-degree angle
