Architectural drawings show a facility that is open and welcoming to the public and will blend with the historic look and feel of Thomasville. It will provide 100 rooms, accommodating up to 400 guests. Three meeting rooms will be available that can accommodate 75 people each, or be combined to seat 150. They are estimating generation of $3 million in revenue for Thomasville businesses. The Courtyard by Marriott hotel is a $12 million investment and brings up to 50 new jobs.

Andy Jones - "Can you not see?"

Join us for a film about the integration of the high schools in Thomas County. It is a documentary that features the football coaches and others that helped manage the atmosphere around Thomasville. It highlights all the positives of conscious community involvement while avoiding the obvious conflicts of the forced integration. Several of the participants will be available to answer questions. It is a very positive and uplifting story. Andy Jones is one of the featured speakers in the film.

Location-La Fagota's on Highway 19 S
