$750 million in traffic improvements are coming to Henry County under new leadership. Unfortunately past regressive leadership motivated by race intentionally did not a pursue available funding to stop diverse growth from coming to Henry County but we came anyway and we are not going anywhere. Because the funding was secured in the last 5 years many of our projects are years out like 2024-2025. However a new highway from Hudson Bridge Rd to Jonesboro Rd is underway now from Jodeco Rd to Mt. Olive Rd in phase one. Phase two Hudson Bridge Rd to Jodeco starts late fall of this year! It is going to take time to fix the shameful actions of the past under new leadership but securing the funds was step one to improving traffic flow. Billions more in transportation funding is on the table right now in President Biden Infrastructure Bill and new diverse leadership is fighting for every penny. Why, to make up for past leaders not even showing up to Atlanta Regional Commission meetings where funding decisions are made. How as leaders in Henry County do you not show up from when Henry County was one of the fastest growing counties in America. Why, the I’ll fated plan to stop growth putting us a decade behind in transportation and infrastructure intentionally. https://bwcatlantasouth.com/post/681172368197042176/750-million-in-traffic-improvements-are-coming-to We #Stockbridgega #henrycountyga #StockbridgeAmphitheater #Gacities #HenryCounyTraffic #henrycountytransportation #henrycountytransportation https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch0Qc4kvyzN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Capt. Anderson is history in Stockbridge! Introducing Captain Dr. Karen Anderson, the first female officer in the history of the city of Stockbridge! Dr. Anderson is the Community Relations head for the new department established after nearly 50 years of Henry County providing police service for Stockbridge. She will work with Chief Frank Trammer (pictured right) on establishing the community policing based model the city is seeking beginning July 1st. Dr. Anderson comes to Stockbridge after a 40 year career in law enforcement embracing diversity and inclusion. The goal is to establish the prototype 21st Century, post Social Justice police department model for America. Those efforts were bolstered by having community members with well established credentials that showed up to the meet & greet leaning forward to assist. Chief Trammer said it best, “Policing is not what you do to a community, it is what you do in partnership with the community.” Stockbridge Councilman Elton Alexander (pictured left) held a meet & greet complete with lunch for the new department to introduce the officers to the community. He said, “I want the community to know our officers by name to feel comfortable operating in see something and say something mode increasing public safety with every eye in Stockbridge working to keep us safe with crime skyrocketing all over metro Atlanta.” #Stockbridgega #henrycountyga #Municipal #gacities #stockbridgepolice #stockbridgepolicedepartment #publicsafety (at Stockbridge, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcscyKKLDlD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
