Board approves project framework agreement with GDOT for Camp Creek Greenway design; $1.5M federal funds with $375k local match
Summary
Henry County approved a project framework agreement with the Georgia Department of Transportation for preliminary engineering of the Camp Creek Greenway Trail; the county will receive about $1.5 million in federal design funds with a $375,000 local match (30% county, 70% City of McDonough share split noted).
Henry County commissioners on Aug. 19 approved a project framework agreement (PFA) with the Georgia Department of Transportation for the Camp Creek Greenway Trail design. Staff said the county will receive approximately $1,500,000 in federal funds for preliminary engineering with a required local match totaling $375,000.
The presenter identified the project as a shared effort with the City of McDonough under an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) tied to the county's "Plus 6" funding, and said the match breakdown is 30% county and 70% city. The trail is shown in drawings as beginning near McDonough Square and extending toward the corridor in front of a county building shown on the schematic.
A commissioner whose district includes the trail expressed support for intergovernmental cooperation with cities; the board moved, seconded and approved the PFA. Staff did not state design schedules or consultant names in the meeting transcript.
Discussion vs. decision: staff presented funding and routing concepts and the board approved entering the PFA with GDOT. Implementation: staff will coordinate design work with GDOT and the City of McDonough; the transcript does not include a design schedule or procurement steps for consultants.
