The Paulding County Board of Commissioners approved a range of transportation actions in its most recent meeting recap, including a GDOT grant application, support for a roundabout, joint planning on an Interstate 75 interchange feasibility study, and authorization to purchase right‑of‑way for a road‑widening project.
The board voted to approve and execute an application for the Georgia Department of Transportation FY2026 local maintenance and improvement grant in the amount of $2,554,386.83; the required 30% local match of $766,316.05 will be allocated from general funds, according to the recap. Philip noted the project references Posts 12 and 3; the transcript does not define the "Posts" terminology or contain the detailed project list, so the county's grant application materials should be consulted for exact road segments covered.
Commissioners authorized the chairman to execute a letter of support to GDOT for a single‑lane roundabout at State Road 6 Business, Macklin Road and Butler Industrial Drive (project PL0019896), a project identified as being in Post 1. The board also adopted joint resolution 2025‑44 with Bartow County supporting exploration of the feasibility of a new interchange on I‑75 north of 3rd Army Road.
The board recommended renewing flow‑monitoring services to ADS Environmental Services for up to $315,732 for the period Dec. 1, 2025 through Nov. 30, 2026, and approved a development agreement with Blue River Development LLC for developer contributions to the Cadillac reroute project on Gateway North Phase 1 (located in Post 3).
On a separate transportation item, commissioners authorized the chairman to sign options to purchase right‑of‑way parcels for Cedar Crest Road widening: Parcel 54 for $60,000; Parcel 60 for $99,000; and Parcel 61 for $115,000. Funding for the purchases will be from SPLOST with reimbursement of up to $5,000,000 anticipated from the Federal Highway Administration, per the recap.
The recap does not include mover/second information or vote tallies; those details should be checked in the official meeting minutes or the video recording.
