Glynn County outlines multi-year transportation, drainage and redevelopment priorities including a potential 350-acre gateway site
Summary
County staff presented a strategic slate of future projects—road widenings, bridge replacements, drainage pipe replacements and a large redevelopment opportunity north of Highway 17—asking the public for input and announcing a SPLOST quarterly review May 7.
Bill Fallon, Glynn County manager, presented an overview of near- and longer-term county infrastructure priorities at the April 15 work session, describing planned traffic, drainage and redevelopment planning and soliciting public input ahead of quarterly SPLOST execution reviews.
Fallon told commissioners the county is working on multiple road projects, including Frederica Road improvements (open house planned for early June), Old Jesup Road widening and a project to widen a bridge on Perry Lane Road as part of a SPLOST-funded bridge replacement. He said the county is considering options to relieve congestion on the U.S. 341 corridor—such as widening the spur from four to six lanes—and cited Glencoe Parkway widening to improve evacuation routes and access to industrial areas.
On drainage, Fallon described a more proactive, regional drainage and retention plan and a program to replace corrugated metal pipes in saltwater environments with concrete or plastic to extend useful life. He listed neighborhoods being considered for work and said the county plans pipe-replacement projects and targeted site designs; one Cameron Place drainage project is scheduled for FY 2026.
Fallon also described what he called a "transformative partnership" around two 350-acre sites north and south of Highway 17 (the former Pine Nova sites). He said the county is exploring a whole-of-community redevelopment that could add tax base, diversify housing and improve connectivity between the Golden Isles and downtown Brunswick. Fallon said the county established an email (futureGlynn@GlynnCounty-GA.gov) and will distribute a survey to solicit public priorities.
Commissioners discussed short-term state DOT work at the 303/341 intersection and other immediate relief measures and expressed support for community engagement. Fallon announced a SPLOST quarterly execution review scheduled for May 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the commission room. No formal approvals or funding decisions were made at the work session.
