County manager Dr. Keith Moffitt said the county’s road resurfacing push known as “Pave the Way” has completed roughly 50–55 miles of whole‑road work and will continue in spring with another 50–60 miles planned. He told the Makin It podcast the program was launched with a large local sales‑tax investment: "We invested over $50,000,000 upfront to get the program going," he said.

Moffitt explained the program’s approach contrasts with spot patching: crews now try to repave entire corridors rather than piecemeal "band‑aid" repairs, which he said has led to visibly better results and more positive public reaction once projects finish. He said the county targeted more than 120 miles last year and that weather windows matter for asphalt work: "It has to be above 55 degrees for the asphalt to do what it needs to do," he said, noting warm days allowed crews to complete additional work late in the season.

The manager credited coordination with the Georgia Department of Transportation for progress on major roads and said the county contracted multiple vendors to speed delivery. He described the effort as funded in part through local sales tax proceeds (referred to on the show as "SPLOST") and framed the work as part of a longer push to support growth: "It's your tax dollars at work," he said.

Moffitt cautioned that paving schedules depend on weather windows and vendor capacity; he estimated the county had reached about 50–55 miles so far and expected to finish the remainder when conditions permit. He also said residents and commissioners help surface localized issues, and that the county tries to respond quickly once those needs are reported.

The county manager said the repaving program is one of several investments intended to support workforce mobility and protect residents from minor emergencies that can cascade into larger financial problems (for example, preventing a flat tire that can stop someone getting to work). The county did not provide an exact final mileage or a line‑item breakdown of the funding on the episode; those details were described as program estimates.
