Stockbridge council approves expenditures

Motorists on I-75 will soon see more advertising on behalf of Stockbridge, as the City Council voted Feb. 22 to approve a $49,400 contract that includes space on nine billboard locations.

In other business, a request from the city’s public works department to set aside $300,000 for right-of-way landscaping was approved, a $90,000 increase over the previous year because of several rights-of-way having been turned over to the city from the county under the new service delivery strategy.

Also approved was an increase in the annual janitorial maintenance contract to $118,080 from the previous $89,280.
