Attracting tourism to the International City is a big reason why Warner Robins wants to build a welcome center.

Money to make it happen is available from the city's hotel/motel tax. In 2009 when council voted to create a visitors center, they raised the taxes from 6% to 8%. Since then, there's been no ground broken.

"The process to me is ridiculous. It's taking way too long," said General Manager at the Comfort Inn & Suites, Ojash Shah.

Now, council wants to change the language on the law that states it must be located near the I-75 Russell Parkway Intersection.

"They've been changing the place for the last 3 years and they still can't make up their mind," said Shah.

Parents enrolling their students in Pre-K next school year should start planning now.

Houston County Registration begins February 23 and lasts until March 20, but not all applicants will get a slot.

"Don't wait till the last day or the last minute," advised Registration Secretary Valerie Noah. She said registration should be a smooth process if parents follow instructions, like bringing the proper documents, and registering at the school's planned dates.

For those eager parents, being the first in line won't increase your chances of securing a spot. Students are picked based on a lottery system where the computer randomly selects them.
