Danny Yates of Carroll County Public Works told commissioners the county received a $2,100,000 no‑match grant from GDOT to replace a bridge on Victory Church Road and requested approval to hire a structural engineer to perform design and assist with bidding.

Yates said the bridge is in very poor condition and that the selected structural engineer has prior GDOT experience with pedestrian and road bridges. He asked the board to authorize hiring the engineer to get the project moving; he said the engineering contract would not exceed $68,743.

Commissioner Bailey noted earlier outreach to property owners and emphasized the county's need to prioritize bridges and infrastructure. Commissioners agreed to place the engineering‑hire request on the May 5 consent agenda.
