Gwinnett Commissioners recently agreed to execute an intergovernmental agreement with Rest Haven to use 2017 SPLOST funds to resurface Thunder Road from State Route 13/Buford Highway to the county line.

Gwinnett will manage this project. Rest Haven will reimburse the county $1,565, or 19 percent of the total project costs. The county will contribute $6,671.

Gwinnett’s financial contribution is limited to pay for items necessary to construct a public transportation improvement, including asphalt, concrete, curb and gutter, grading, drainage, intersection and traffic signal upgrades (crosswalks, pedestrian actuated countdown timers, and handicap ramps). County funds may not be used to pay for items considered enhancements such as landscaping, decorative lighting, way finding signage and benches.
