Heard County moves forward with procedures to close Evans Drive after property owner request
Summary
Commissioners voted to begin formal procedures to close Evans Drive off Georgia Highway 34W after property owner Norma Golden expressed concerns about dumping and offered to gate both ends.
Commissioners voted March 24 to proceed with the legal procedures required to close Evans Drive, a road off Georgia Highway 34W, following a request brought by Commissioner Joe Adams and comments from the property owner.
Norma Golden, who said she owns the land on both sides of Evans Drive at 165 Evans Drive in Franklin and leases it as a hunting club, told the board the property frequently attracts illegal dumping and that her family would be willing to install gates on both ends if the road is closed. The board approved moving forward with closure procedures on a motion by Commissioner Joe Adams, seconded by Commissioner Larry Hooks.
The minutes record the board's decision to begin the closure process but do not include timelines, legal steps required, or whether affected property owners beyond Ms. Golden were notified; staff will proceed with the statutory closure procedures.
