Fayette completes first stormwater project

Fayette County has completed the first stormwater infrastructure project financed by its new Stormwater Utility Fund. Following the defeat of last year’s SPLOST proposal, the county has been struggling to address overdue road and culvert repairs.

Construction to alleviate persistent flooding on Brittany Way in Fayette Villa Estates was the first of a list of projects that will be done based on severity of need and availability of funds.
