The Henry County Board of Commissioners approved a $3.6 million contract for road work at its May 7 regular meeting.

The agreement with CW Matthews involves improvements on 14 roads totaling about 12 miles, with some of the work by cement stabilized base reclamation construction and the remainder by milling and resurfacing. The work is being funded by a state Local Maintenance Improvement Grant along with matching money from county DOT and SPLOST resurfacing funds.

The commissioners also approved a $63,755 contract for a Hampton company to provide mowing and landscape services along rights-of-way on designated roadways.
