McDonough City Councilman Rufus Stewart Brings Quality of Life to the Community By Andreal Mallard If you drive down Phillips Drive or just decide to take a walk, you will see that providing up standard qual- ity of Life is the single most important thing to Coun- cilman Rufus Stewart. Mr. Stewart has served his com- munity for over 25 years and has made himself avail- able to the people he serves consistently. After fighting vigorously for a Communi- ty Block Grant, the city of McDonough has not only re-paved the streets but put new sidewalks in place to give the citizens a sense of upscale living. Along with SPLOAST dollars and city funds, Mr. Stewart has led the charge to make his community great again. Mr. Stewart states “This is only the beginning, we are going to help citizens remodel homes, upgrade our park equipment and create an environment that is safe and family friendly. “ “We want businesses that are in this area or plan on coming to this area to thrive and it starts with vision and leadership!” says Councilman Stewart. Throughout the summer, Councilman Stewart pro- vides summer camps for kids and resources to keep young people positive. He is constantly giving back through many programs he has established for the com- munity. New street lights and mailbox- es were also added to the project of the Community Block Grant and SPLOST funds making it safer to walk the street and easier access of com- munication thru mail for the citizens. Thank you Mr. Stewart for you hard work and dedication. If you have any questions or con- cerns feel free to contact Mr. Stewart via phone at (678)618-7754 for commu- nity relation matters.
