Members of Perry Planning and

ing a “Hospitality Zone” in Perry.
The news was announced by
Steve Howard, at the Planning ana
Zoning meeting at Perry City Hall
Feb. 8.
The zone being considered is
adjacent to the Agncenter and west
of Interstate 75 said Martin
Beeland, board chairman for Perry
Planning and Zoning.
Howard contacted Raleigh,
N.C. and Orange County, Fla., and
remiested a copy of their zoning
ordinances several weeks ago.
Extracts of technical informa

nances by Howard and distributed
to the board members by mail a
week ago so the members could
familiarize themselves with the
material before the meeting said
Beeland.
“What we are trying to do is cre
ate a specially zoned place that will
be attractive to tourists and compli
ment the Agricenter,” said Beeland.
“We are lust starting the process
of writing tne usage zoning to suit
the needs of the area,” said Beeland.
“At this time the property is
zoned RAG (residential and agri
cultural) by Houston County and
we want to be prepared when this
property begins to be developed”
saic (Beeland.
“We want businesses that will be
attractive to the tourists and com

nesses with obnoxious odors and
excessive noise,” said Beeland.
“We are also talking about the
possibility of bike paths and side
walks between the businesses in
that area and to the Agricenter as
well so visitors will not have to
drive,” said Beeland.
“When we do put something
together we will take it to Mike
Froehlich for his input. Then we
will take it to the City Council. We
are hoping to have tnis put togeth
er in a few months,” saia Beeland.
“The best use of the land will be
tourist related businesses that com-
Ent the Agriccnter," said
ael A. Froehlich Executive
Director of the Georgia National
Fairgrounds and Agricenter.
“I see hotels and maybe a little
further behind them apartments.
Maybe a bike path that crosses into
the Agricenter property or possibly
a tram that goes through the
arboretum and continues on
through the grounds of the agricen
ter,” said Froehlich.
“The Agricenter is an economic
generator not only for Perry but the
State of Georgia and great consid
eration should be taken to look out
for the best interests of the
Agricenter and in creating a
Hospitality zone we can do just
that/ said Froehlich.

Bumdowns Offer
Superior Weed
Control in a Wide
Variety of Crops
Weeds are the last things you
need to wait on during spring,
the busiest time of the year. A
bumdown
makes perfect
economical
sense, but with
so many weed
control options
available, making
the right choice
is difficult.
Here’s two
bumdown
herbicides that
offer fast, reliable
weed desiccation for a variety of
crops, including cotton, com and
soybeans.
TOUCHDOWN® herbicide
delivers better early preplant
performance than ever on tough
annual and perennial grasses and
broadleaf weeds. Touchdown
herbicide translocates through
plants from leaves and stem all
the way down to the roots for a
faster bumdown. You’ll see leaves
turning yellow in just four to
seven days, significantly faster
than herbicides with the active
ingredient glyphosate.
GRAMOXONE* EXTRA
herbicide offers fast, effective
weed control in com, soybeans
and cotton. When it comes time
to plant, the field is clean and the
crop has a head start on weeds.
Gramaxone Extra is nunfast in
just minutes and works in just 24
to 48 hours in controlling a
broad spectrum of weeds and
grasses.
Gramaxone also works on
transgenic crops. Applied as a
preplant bumdown on
glyphosate-toierant soybean or
cotton acres; Gramaxone Extra
helps control glyphosate-toierant
weeds like momingglory and
hemp sesbania. Using
Gramaxone Extra also reduces
the risk of developing tolerance,
which may occur when using
only one product for both bum
down and post-emergence weed
control.
Rely on Touchdown and
Gramaxone Extra to bum down
all your crop acres. For more
information about Touchdown
and Gramaxone Extra herbicides,
contact your local ag chem dealer.
