Henry County board deadlocks on interchange vote

A Henry County Board of Commissioners vote on a memorandum of understanding with the Georgia Department of Transportation regarding the proposed interchange on I-75 at Bethlehem Road failed to pass due to a tie.

The state DOT requested $5 million from the county for preliminary engineering and right of way on the project, which is part of the county’s overall SPLOST program approved by voters. Dee Clemmons, Bruce Holmes and Vivian Thomas voted against a motion to table the measure. Clemmons then made a motion to approve the MOU with a number of conditions, but later rescinded it and no vote was taken.
