Hall Co. accepting bids on Deaton Creek tennis court work

GAINESVILLE - Hall County has begun accepting bids on the replacement of a tennis court at Village of Deaton Creek near Chestnut Mountain.<br /> <br /> Deaton Creek residents have complained, formally and informally, over the past several months about the condition of the court, placing blame on the county for damage to it.<br /> <br /> The county commission voted Jan. 22 to seek bids on the project. The motion called for "up to $20,000" to repair the court, which has a county water line underneath it, but estimates say the repairs could run as high as $55,000.<br /> (See earlier stories. Links below.)<br /> <br /> The county's purchasing department is accepting bids until Feb. 19 for the demolition and replacement of the tennis court.
