Road work approved by Henry board

The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its June 7 regular meeting to approve a resolution calling for the resurfacing of 86 county roads.

The work will be funded by the county’s regular SPLOST as well as its T-SPLOST which is earmarked specifically for transportation needs, along with Georgia Department of Transportation funds and money from the county’s general fund if necessary.

Two other SPLOST-funded resolutions for road work were approved at the meeting, with $69,141 designated for the design of the Flippen Road extension and a $350,267 bid award for asphalt patching, crack sealing and high-density mineral bond application on 25 county roads.
