Ty Ross, Dalton city administrator, stands outside City Hall.DALTON, Ga. – An expected property donation Dalton will allow the city to build a greenspace south of the downtown area.
“This sort of fell into our laps when we were approached by the property owners,” City Manager Ty Ross told the City Council.
The council voted Monday evening to accept the property from the Aladdin Manufacturing Corp., which is part of Mohawk Industries.
The donated property is a former industrial building off South Hamilton Street just behind the Office Depot. It is about one city block in size.
The old building is not suitable for more modern manufacturing needs and will be razed, Ross said. The city plans to use the area for a small park or greenspace.
