Henry board approves $3.6 million road project

The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its Oct. 18 regular meeting to approve a $3,652,625 bid award for the construction of the second phase of a transportation project on Peeksville Road and a corresponding budget amendment.

The project is being funded by the county’s special-purpose local option sales tax program approved by voters in 2019.

In other business, the board approved a request to modify conditions of an 87-acre piece of property at the northeast corner of the intersection of Lester Mill Road and Bill Gardner Parkway so it can be developed as proposed for a single-family residential development as per a revised site plan.
