(LINCOLNTON, GA) – A team’s quarterback and running back can be the best in the state, but if they are constantly sacked or stood up at the line it won’t matter. It’s the offensive line that creates the conditions for first downs, scores, and state playoffs, and the Red Devil linemen have been creating those conditions all season long.

Center Lane Parton and Right Tackle Justin Zellars have been leaders to the younger players all year. Parton says. “it’s been fun to play with these guys all season.”
“Our performance has gotten better in the second half of the season,” says Zellars.
Parton says the ARC game was one of the best performances of the seasons, while Zellars likes the linesmens’ play against Aquinas, in which he scored 5 knockdowns of defensive players.
Both leaders have great respect for their Dooly County opponents this Friday night in the quarterfinals game here in Lincolnton. “They have decent size, they play hard, and they don’t give up,” says Zellars.

Luxury RV Resort approved by Lincoln Commissioners
(LINCOLNTON, GA) – A luxury RV resort adjacent to Soap Creek Marina was approved Thursday night following a public hearing session during the regular monthly meeting of the Lincoln County Commission.
Commissioners approved the earlier recommendation of the Planning Commission for a Special Use Request from Jim Rutkowski of Prime Properties. The conditional use would allow Prime Properties to operate a luxury RV resort on a 127-acre parcel located on Ann Scott Drive and Highway 378.
In other business, Commissioners approved a de-annexation resolution for a 5.49-acre parcel located at 1033 Elberton Highway. Commissioners Cliatt, Norman and Henderson supported the measure and Commissioner Collins abstained. According to Georgia Code (O.C.G.A Section 36-36-22), municipalities have the authority to de-annex land within the existing corporate limits thereof upon 1) the written and signed application of all owners of the land in question, and 2) the adoption of a resolution by the governing authority of the County in which such property is located consenting to such de-annexation.
Commissioners also unanimously authorized the Low-Income Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP) Agreement which will allow “federal funds to cover and/or reduce arrearages, rates and fees associated with reconnection or preventions of disconnection of service and rate reduction to assist low-income households with water and wastewater reconnection and ongoing service for eligible households.”
Ms. Barbara Gould gifted Lincoln County a handmade quilt which will be displayed in the courthouse. Ms. Cheryl Leverett-Hill, niece of Welcome Leverett, a veteran of the Korean Conflict, requested her uncle’s name be added to the monument in the front of the courthouse. The Commission unanimously approved the request.
The next meeting of the Lincoln County Board Commissioners will be held on Thursday, November 10 at 6:00 p.m.

ARC factory back on the market
(LINCOLNTON, GA) The American Remanufacturing Company’s (ARC) unused plant on McCormick Highway is back on the market after failing to bring any new local jobs.
Lincoln Industrial Holdings purchased the old JimTex plant for use by ARC in 2021 after the previous owner, South Georgia Equipment, went out of business. ARC processes returned goods for manufacturers with three facilities in Augusta and one in Union Point and had hoped to expand operations to the Lincolnton facility with new contracts from additional manufacturers.
Paul Adamson, CRO of ARC, says new processing contracts expected for the Lincolnton plant failed to materialize, leading to the company “officially mothballing the property.” Adamson says ARC is still looking for new contracts, while the building’s owners, Lincolnton Industrial Properties, explore new potential for the building through the sale listing.
Damien Lanclos of industrial real estate firm LVN KD Lanslos and Associates are listing the facility with an “unstated price” to encourage offers. The building sold to Lincoln Industrial Holdings for $1,150,000 on June 30, 2021 according the Lincoln County Tax records.
The lone bright spot for area workers over the last year has been the continued expansion of Adrenaline PowerBoats International manufacturing through a sub-lease of the rear 100,000 square feet of the 200,000 square foot building while ARC remained in limbo. Adrenaline owner Mike Layton says their sublease on the building will continue through the end of the year.
