Trees on the move
Placeholder Image
Crepe myrtles find a new home: Workers from the Georgia Forestry Commission use the tree spade to move crepe myrtles from the median on Highway 278 to Sharp Stadium.  The project is a collaborative effort taking place this week between Keep Covington/Newton Beautiful, the City of Covington, and the Newton County School System to beautify the area around the stadium and reuse plants.  The crepe myrtles must be moved to allow for D.O.T.’s construction of a concrete wall and other intersection improvements.
