Peachtree City’s commitment to its senior community was front and center during the City Council meeting on October 17, 2024. The Fayette Senior Services program showcased its impressive offerings, with over 600 programs available annually, aimed at keeping seniors active and engaged. The center serves as a hub for social interaction, featuring activities beyond traditional card games, including cooking demonstrations and health updates from local professionals.

Council members expressed strong support for the program, highlighting its role in fostering community connections and promoting independent living among seniors. The center not only provides recreational opportunities but also hosts important services like tax assistance through AARP, helping over 500 residents each year.

In addition to senior services, the meeting addressed public safety concerns, particularly regarding underage DUIs and golf cart collisions. The police chief reported a significant 34% decrease in golf cart collisions compared to the previous year, attributing this success to increased educational efforts and a visible police presence on multi-use paths. This proactive approach aims to enhance safety for all residents, especially vulnerable populations like seniors.

As Peachtree City continues to prioritize the well-being of its residents, the discussions at this meeting reflect a community dedicated to inclusivity and safety, ensuring that all citizens feel valued and connected.
