Trion Goes For Patrol Center
Would Provide Utilities, Several Jobs For Area
By RICH JEFFERSON
Staff Writer
*
Trion Tuesday night final
ly took a step toward develop
ing the town's industrial ar‘{(
by agreeing to donate at f()east
six acres on the park site to the
Georgia State Patrol for a com
mercial licensing center.
The move put Trion closer
to installing sewer and water
lines to the site, and represen
tatives from the state patrol
said building the center
couldn't start soon enough.
There are 280,000 drivers who
must be tested for commercial
licenses by April, 1992.
APPRECIATE
“I can't tell you how much
I appreciate this,” said Capt.
Charles Dunn with the state
patrol in LaFayette. *'[ want to
thank you personally. Land is
the big-ticket item, and we're
not getting any money from
the state for this.”
Under federal guidelines,
those who drive church buses,
school buses, and truck
drivers, must all be tested or
"irandfathered" in. All those
who drive vehicles that weigh
36,000 pounds or more, or
those who drive vehicles that
carry more than 15 people
must be tested. It is estimated
between 20 and 30 percent of
those holding such licenses
now will be grandfathered in,
but everyone will have to take
the new written test.
An engineering study
released by the town in
February projected the cost of
installing sewer and water lines
would be $170,000. Since the
town has decided to donate
land for the licensing center,
the state will cover most if not
all of the installation costs.

Dunn said. “'The land is
enough. You've gone more
than halfway with this.”" He
also told the councilmen that
land owned by local govern
ments can sell for as much as
SIOO,OOO an acre. ‘So if we
want eight acres, we can see
where we are before we start.”
Once the state pays for con
struction of utility lines and
the building of 2,500 square
feet, it will also cover u(i.ility
costs and pay the wages of the
six to eight clerical workers
who will be employed at the
center, Dunn said.
“That's the kind of a deal 1

Williams. Williams had voiced

months about what he called
the high cost of developing the
industrial park. The mayor also
said he was happy with the
f)ou_*ntial indirect benefits of
having a testing center here.
“The ramifications are better
than just a job or two," he said.
Dunn declined to speculate
on economic spin-offs. “You
are better at reading the
economic tea leaves than we
are. But those truckers will
need to buy lunch.”
REQUIRED
In what has become a
familiar pattern, states are re

testing centers, but the states
have to pay for complying.
Commercial licensing
centers must be open as soon
as possible for testing to be
done on time, Dunn said. The
state will open a testing center
in Milledgeville bfi' July 1 this
vear, but that will be the only
center in the state suitable for
testing drivers of large
vehicles. Besides commercial
license tests, Trion's licensing
post will have the personnel to
conduct other license tests in
cluding regular renewals,
automobile and motorcycle
licenses for first-time drivers.
The town announced plans
to build an industrial park
several years ago when it
bought the lang from the
Riegel Textile Division of
Mount Vernon Mills. Council
members complained at
previous meetings that all the
town has done so far is put up
a sign on the 154-acre tract.
PLANS LETTER
Following the meeting,
Mayor Hoyt Williams said he
planned to write the letter of
commitment to Patrol Col.
Curtis Earp Jr. this week. *l'm
going to get on that right away
while it's still fresh,” Williams
said.
State Rep. John Crawford
was also at the meeting. He
promised to seek funds for the
project through the governor's
office and the Department of
Natural Resources (DNR).
Crawford is on the Natural
Resources House Committee.
INSURANCE
In other action, the board
again changed insurance re
quirements for children to par
ticipate in Trion's organized
recreation program. A plan ap
proved at an earlier meeting
said that all children under the
supervision of the recreation
de{)artment had to buy a $7
policy that ran from April 1 to
March 31, regardless of when
the policy was purchased.
After several parents pro
tested, the council Tuesday
night decided to allow children
who could show proof of in
surance to be waived from the
requirement.
Williams reported that
overdue tax accounts have
been turned over to an at
torney, and that the library
fund-raising sign will be
erected soon. The sign will
show the amount collected for
books for the town's new
library.
CLOSING
The council also voted to
close Marsh Avenue on May 6
for the Cub Scout Derby, and
several council members said
they planned to attend the
April 11 meeting at Calhoun of
the Georgia Mayors Associa
tion. This is a regional meeting
for mayors and councilmen
from the Seventh District.
Councilmen also reported
that they have received several
comments about the new traf
fic lights at the intersection of
Allgood Street and Park
Avenue. Williams said the
number of lights at the in
tersection is the required
number, even though it may
look like too many.
“If we strung them out
we'd have lights afi over town,”
Cogncilmen Dwight Arden
said.
