Countywide Retail
Program Proposed
By KAY ABBOTT 5
Staff Writer l
Downtown parking space
and the possibilit o? exten
ding membership {teyond the
Summerville city limits were
amon‘f items discussed at
Tuesday's meeting of the
Retail Council of the éhattooga
Chamber of Commerce. ‘
The Council voted last |
month to change its name from |
the Retail Affairs Committee.
Rebecca Peak proposed
that the organization go coun
tywide so more members would
be available to help with major
projects, such as the annual
downtown Halloween parade,
and various monthly
promotions.
Council Chairman Robert
Floyd pointed out that the
original purpose of the
organization was to promote
the downtown Summerville
area and that the Chamber of
Commerce already included the
entire county. Floyd added
that he was not ogposed to ex
ganding the membership area,
ecause the over all goal is to
keep business in C%lattooga
County.
““People have a lot of
reasons to come downtown,”
Floyd said. “They come to pay
taxes, vote, mail letters ams do |
their banking. If we don’t get |
them in our stores it's our own
fault.”
The Council members noted
during the discussion that mer
chants who have benefitted the
most from the organization's
monthly downtown promo
tions have been those who of
fered specific sale items and
participated consistently. |
Mrs. Edythe McGinnis sug
gested that the Council spon
sor a Downtown Employee of
the Month contest to increase
membership and participation
by merchants.
Summerville Police Chief
Arlen Thomas reported that
the downtown parkin% situa
tion was “‘improving’’ but still
needed work. According to
Thomas, two of three cars I
parked in Summerville during
court dates this week belonged
to jurors, tying up a number of
parking spaces .in front of
downtown stores. Thomas said

The Summerville News, Thursday, February 5, 1987 . ..
that the 75 to 100 cars had
juror's %arking permits, which
allows them to exceed the two
hour parking limit.
Chief Thomas said local
judicial officials are
coogerating to help solve the
problem.
“In the future we need to
look into develglping new park
ir}fil areas,”” Thomas said.
“There are some good areas for
this in the city, but the lots are
privately owned. We would like
to encourafi,{'urors to park in
the ci'?' afiar ing lot across from
City and to use the church
parking lots during court
days."”
Thomas and the merchants
noted favorable response to the
city’'s new handicapped park
ing S:Faces.
“There is a $25 minimum
fine for unauthorized use of a
handicapped parking space,”
Thomas said.
Mrs. Peak said that the
downtown parking problem
has been partially caused by
employees parking in front of
stores.
““Merchants should insist
that all employees park off the
street,” Mrs. Peafi said. “A
store can lose from $17,000 to
We can usually insure your house, furnishings, out
buildings, mobile home or business at a big saving to you.
Why? Because:
We are a Co-op Mutual Co.
We are exempt from all taxes and licenses.
We are a non-profit association and prohibited by state
laws from making a profit.
We have no agents — so you pay no agent’'s commission.
You deal directly with an officer of the company. You deal
with homefolk in buying your insurance and paying claims.
We are the largest and oldest Farmers Mutual in Georgia,
organized in 1892 and insuring property in our area ever since.
