State grant to help with Henry County road resurfacing

A number of roads and bridges in Henry County will be getting improvements with the help of about $2.3 million from the Georgia Department of Transportation through its Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant.

The latest LMIG application was approved for submission by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its Dec. 3 regular meeting. A 30-percent local match amounting to $710,723 is required to receive the grant, according to county officials, and funds will be allocated through the county’s DOT asphalt budget. In a separate action, the board approved a bid for road improvements under the county’s SPLOST program.
