Paulding commissioners adopt two condemnation resolutions for major road projects
Summary
The board adopted Resolution 2026‑10 and Resolution 2026‑11 to authorize condemnation under O.C.G.A. § 32‑3‑4 for right‑of‑way and temporary easements on Highway 101 and the Due West/State Route 92 intersection improvement projects.
Paulding County commissioners voted to adopt two separate condemnation resolutions authorizing the use of eminent domain to acquire land for transportation projects.
Resolution 2026‑10 authorizes condemnation for corridor improvements along Highway 101 from Crossroad Church Road to Golden South Parkway, identifying parcel and project partial numbers and citing O.C.G.A. § 32‑3‑4 as the statutory authority. The board approved the motion to adopt the resolution by voice vote.
The board also adopted Resolution 2026‑11 to authorize condemnation and permanent easements for the Due West and state Route 92 intersection improvement project, again referencing O.C.G.A. § 32‑3‑4 and listing project and tax parcel identifiers. That motion likewise passed on a voice vote.
Why it matters: both resolutions clear a statutory path to acquire land needed for roadway and intersection improvements the county described; the transcript records acreage and parcel identifiers but does not include property owner names or individual vote roll calls.
Board response and next steps: after adoption the county will proceed with the acquisition process under Georgia law; the transcript does not record timelines for offers, relocation assistance, or compensation details.
