12 Cherokee County roads OK’d for $3.2M in repaving

The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has approved a list of 12 roads totaling about 18.2 miles in Cherokee County to be resurfaced next year using roughly $2.5 million in state grant funds.

The 2020 Local Maintenance & Improvement Grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation would have to be matched by $749,906 in county funds, for a total cost of $3.2 million, Community Development Director Geoffrey E. Morton said in a report to commissioners. The work would be bid next spring and completed by the fall of 2020.
