A proposed connector in Bartow County that would create a direct link between I-75 and U.S. 411 to Rome — relieving truck congestion in the Cartersville area — is the subject of a public information open house Tuesday, Feb. 26, in Cartersville.
Residents of Bartow and Floyd counties are encouraged to attend the meeting on the new Rome-Cartersville Development Corridor, 5 to 7 p.m. at Faith United Methodist Church, 501 Grassdale Road, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation. Information: https://bit.ly/2GRCiTA
“We would like to hear the viewpoints and preferences of all area residents,” said Grant Waldrop, GDOt district engineer in Cartersville. “This meeting will provide the public with an opportunity to review the proposed project, ask questions, and express their preferences.”
The open house is informal, and people can drop in any time between 5 and 7 p.m. Accommodations for residents with disabilities can be arranged in advance by calling Joseph Ciavarro, district planning and programming engineer, 678-721-5164.
Written statements will be accepted until March 12 and may be submitted to: Eric Duff, State Environmental Administrator, Georgia Department of Transportation, Office of Environmental Services, 600 West Peachtree Street NW–16th Floor, Atlanta GA 30308.
