Utility expenses for projects approved in Henry County

Three transportation improvement projects requiring utility relocation were addressed by the Henry County Board of Commissioners at its June 18 regular meeting.

The board allocated a $43,701.31 expenditure for the Henry County Water Authority and an additional $38,000 for Central Georgia EMC regarding the intersection improvement project at Simpson Mill Road and Hampton-Locust Grove Road. That money comes from the county’s SPLOST account. Also approved was a $12,268.89 disbursement to the HCWA for a pipe replacement project on Lake Dow Road. That cost is being covered in the county’s Stormwater Department budget.
