Aug 26, 2011

Citizens who want to learn about a 10-county transportation project list that they will vote on in 2012 can come to 12 public meetings over the next month.

The meetings start with one in Douglas County on Wednesday, Sept. 7, through a final one in Clayton County on Sept. 29. The Atlanta Regional Roundtable, a group of 21 mayors and county commissioners from the 10-county region, will vote on a final list by Oct. 15. Voters in 2012 will decide whether to fund it with a sales tax.
