State Sen. Jim Butterworth (R-Demorest) on Thursday announced local road projects that will soon be underway upon receiving funding from the federal stimulus package. Over $7 million in stimulus funds will be awarded to counties in the 50th Senate District for road maintenance and repairs. The funds will be distributed to Banks, Franklin, Habersham, Towns and White counties for road maintenance projects, which were given high priority to be included in the first batch of projects requested by the Governor for stimulus funds.
There are a total of 67 road projects around the state that will be funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. These projects represent approximately one-fourth of the total funds that will be available to Georgia for transportation through the stimulus package.
