Tyrone backs regional SR 54 corridor study; no local funding committed
Summary
The council approved a resolution supporting a county-led grant application for an SR 54 connectivity and corridor study (estimated cost $700,000; $560,000 federal request; $140,000 local match shared among jurisdictions); the town’s resolution is supportive only and does not commit funds.
Council voted to support a county-led application to the Atlanta Regional Commission for a corridor study of State Route 54 roughly spanning 18 miles through neighboring counties. Staff said the estimated study cost is $700,000 with $560,000 sought in federal funding and a $140,000 local match to be shared by participating jurisdictions. Tyrone’s resolution was supportive only; staff emphasized the town is not committing local funding by the resolution but will sign to aid the county’s ARC application.
Council members described the vote as a regional cooperation measure; staff noted the corridor outside the town limits nevertheless affects Tyrone residents who use the route and that the town participates in countywide transportation planning efforts.
Ending: The resolution passed; staff will forward the signed local-resolution support to the county for inclusion in the ARC grant application.
