Stockbridge urges safety and ‘deliverable’ projects in T‑SPLOST 2 plan
Summary
Stockbridge asked Henry County to use a disciplined scoring model that prioritizes safety, asset management and projects that can be completed within the five‑year collection window; the city highlighted the Patrick Henry Parkway widening as a joint project.
Stockbridge officials told the joint meeting they support a disciplined, safety‑first approach to prioritizing projects for T‑SPLOST 2 and urged the county to favor projects that can be designed and built within the five‑year collection window.
"Before transportation funding is used to improve convenience, it should first address conditions that create public risk," Stockbridge's presenter said, arguing for strong weighting for safety and asset management in any scoring model. The city emphasized resurfacing, pavement preservation and pedestrian safety as core priorities.
Stockbridge also identified the Patrick Henry Parkway widening as a joint project with Henry County and said the city expects to share design costs (the presentation cited an approximate 41% city share for design). Mayor Jay Jaden Williams said Stockbridge will share its presentation slides with the county staff so municipal staff can compare draft projects across jurisdictions.
Stockbridge asked county leaders to prioritize projects that are defensible, strategically aligned and realistically deliverable during the T‑SPLOST collection period.
