The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Oct. 20 regular meeting to approve two measures related to road projects under the county’s SPLOST program. A $102,000 contract for engineering design services for the Racetrack Road/Iris Lake Road intersection improvement project was awarded to American Engineers, Inc. That cost will be shared equally by the SPLOST budgets of District I and District III.

A traffic study will be conducted to determine whether a roundabout or a traffic signal is most suitable for that intersection. Kimley-Horn & Associates was awarded the $274,500 contract for design services related to the widening of a portion of Fairview Road, which is an approved District V SPLOST project.
