Officials with the Newton County Arts Association feel they have found a way to get its long-sought civic center up and running. The Arts Association, which has been working with the Newton County School System, will present an option to use the Porter Memorial Auditorium as the county’s future civic center to the BOC during a 6 p.m. work session Tuesday. Newton County voters approved using $5 million of athe 2005 SPLOST referendum to help pay for a public/private civic center project.
