Attorney Josh Scoggins was instrumental in bringing a mixed-use development to the City of Covington! The Quarry @ Neely Farms will offer a variety of residences along with a proposed area of shops and restaurants, small boating areas and potential fishing spots along with other standard residential amenities.
COVINGTON, Ga. – After years of revision and revisiting, the Covington city council has given the go-ahead to a mixed-use development proposal that would bring a plethora of new homes to the city.
The Quarry @ Neely Farms, a project that has been in the works since 2021, was green-lighted when they were awarded a special use permit (SUP) with conditions at Monday’s city council meeting.
A long history
Project applicant/developer Chris Folgman has been attempting to create a mixed-use development of this nature for years. A 2021 proposal drew comparison to The Avalon in Alpharetta.
The city previously denied two similar SUPs in October 2023. The following month, The Quarry @ Neely Farms, assisted by Attorney Joshua Scoggins, filed suit against the city. This litigation appears still underway with a filing as recent as May 29.
City Attorney Frank Turner Jr. mentioned during the discussion that the city was in a “settlement negotiation,” though he did not say verbatim if this was a reference to the lawsuit over past SUPs.
Now that the SUP has been granted, the future of the lawsuit is unclear.
