County applies for state road funds: local road assistance list and LMIG safety grant approved
Summary
Houston County commissioners approved a local road assistance list for the 02/2025 LRA grant and authorized the 2025 LMIG safety action program application (GDOT) with a 30% local match to fund striping and raised pavement markers across 37.01 miles of county roads.
Houston County commissioners approved the county’s application and road list for the 02/2025 Local Road Assistance (LRA) program and authorized submission of the 2025 LMIG (Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant) safety action program application to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
Commissioner Byrd presented the LRA list, which includes Old Perry Road (SR‑96 to Woodard Road, 1.94 miles base repair and resurfacing), Patton Drive (0.41 miles resurfacing), Waterfront Way (0.53 miles resurfacing), River West Road (0.91 miles base repair and resurfacing), Loblolly Drive (0.49 miles resurfacing), Langston Road (1.37 miles resurfacing) and Fourth Street in Lashley Subdivision (0.31 miles base repair and resurfacing). The board authorized the list for submission; no local match is required for the LRA grant.
Commissioner Gotwals moved approval of the 2025 LMIG safety action program application, which requests $415,000 from GDOT and requires a 30% local match (noted as $124,500 to fully expend the grant). The proposed projects under the LMIG safety grant are striping and installation of raised pavement markers (RPMs) on a list of roads totaling 37.01 miles. The county’s match was identified to come from the 2018 SPLOST.
Both motions passed unanimously. Commissioners characterized the grants as cost‑effective ways to extend resurfacing and safety work with state support.
