The 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.
