The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously at its Oct. 15 regular meeting to approve a bid award for construction of the Panola Mountain Greenway Trail PATH to Lewallen Construction in the amount of $2,724,673.91.
A total of $2,179,739 in federal money is being used along with $544,935 in county funds. Completion time for the project is to be within 365 calendar days after notice is given to proceed, with liquidated damage charges assessed each day after that, according to county officials. The contract will be executed after the Georgia Department of Transportation approves the award.
Construction of the trail in this phase will include a bridge over Hwy. 155 just south of Alexander Road and ultimately reach the edge of the Austin Road Middle School campus.
