 The Preserve at Greison Trail has won the Newnan 2009 Landscaping Excellence Award and the 2009 Tree Preservation Excellence Award.(reprinted from the Times-Herald.com, October 26, 2009)
The Newnan Tree Commission has honored a local development for tree preservation and landscape excellence in its 2009 awards program. According to Newnan Public Information Officer Gina Snider, in 2003, the City of Newnan's Tree Commission created an awards program to recognize commercial and residential construction projects within the city. The annual program looks to acknowledge projects that demonstrate excellence in either landscaping or tree preservation as part of their overall development.
Up to four different projects, two commercial and two residential, may be
selected each year from a pool of all the construction projects that were
substantially completed within the city limits in the previous calendar year.
Each fall, awards are given.
Only two awards were given for 2009, both in the residential category, to The Preserve Apartment Homes - Branch Properties, at East Broad Street and Greison Trail. No landscape or tree preservation awards were given for 2009 in the commercial categories.
Projects are nominated in the first quarter of the year, selected in the second quarter of the year, and awarded in the third quarter. A three-foot by five-foot sign is erected and displayed in front of the award winner's project for approximately one year.
The 2009 project winners include:
-- Residential Category -- Landscape Excellence Award: The Preserve Apartment Homes - Branch Properties.
--Residential Category -- Tree Preservation Excellence Award: The Preserve Apartment Homes - Branch Properties.
The Preserve at Greison Trail was recently constructed and offers one, two, and three bedroom apartment homes with resort style landscaping. The overall project contains 235 residential units.
Cindy Millard, chairman of the city Tree Commission, said that the awards are a way to recognize developments that are devoted to saving trees and providing excellent landscaping. With the new developments in the Newnan community, the awards allow the Tree Commission to thank the residential and commercial developers for their time and effort to ensure that Newnan is a beautiful community.
