Commissioners abandon Henry County road, reallocate SPLOST money
A portion of Fortson Road in Henry County is being abandoned.
By Monroe Roark
Dec 1, 2019The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Nov. 19 regular meeting to abandon a portion of Fortson Road and declare it surplus, citing the fact that it is no longer used by the public.
The 3.59 acres which constitute the road portion is a prescriptive easement and not a right-of-way, meaning the county does not own property along the road. A developer will place a gravel cul-de-sac south of the abandonment area. The board also approved a resolution reallocating $385,124 in SPLOST funds for Moseley Park.
The money is left over from five other projects which have already been completed.
