$750 million in traffic improvements are coming to Henry County plus a $1.2 Billion truck only lane project from Savannah to McDonough! New leadership is committed to improving traffic congestion. ***Please share this post with your neighbors! Road widening projects include: Rock Quarry Rd Widening Jonesboro Rd Widening Bill Gardner Pkwy Widening Fairview Rd Widening Hwy 81 Widening from McDonough Square to Bethany Rd Hwy 42 from Stockbridge to McDonough Hwy 155 widening Hwy 20 from I-75 to Phillips Drive Hudson Bridge Rd to Jonesboro Rd Connector Highway is a road project from Hudson Bridge Rd Stockbridge to Jonesboro Rd McDonough acting as an local access 4 lane highway Hwy 42 from Hwy 138 to I-675 exit 2 widening (2023) Bethlehem Road interchange for commercial trucks to exit at a new expressway exit relieving congestion at Hwy 155 exit 216. Nearly $100 million in repaving highways and streets by Henry County, GDOT, and the four cities Million in trails and sidewalk improvements. A $1.2 billion commercial trucks only road project from the Savannah port to McDonough to help relieve truck traffic on I-75. (2024). It should be noted hundreds of additional trucks will be coming through metro Atlanta with the Savannah port doubling in size and truck volume. As Meg from GDOT said the trucks are coming regardless of what we do the question is whether we will attempt to prepare for them coming with projects like the Bethlehem Interchange. It should be noted Cobb, Gwinnett, Fulton, and DeKalb have much more warehousing and truck traffic than does Henry County. The difference is they have other industries to diversify their economies. and more! #atlantatraffic #henrycountytraffic #Stockbridgegatraffic #McDonoughgatraffic #atlanta #gdot (at Henry County, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcLmLcruTzp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The metro Atlanta area population is surging and projected to be 8.3 million people in 2040 adding 3 million more people than today. The Henry County population is now at 246,900 right now and expected to ballon toas high as 400,000 people if current growth rates continue. Traffic is here to stay even with ¾ of a billion dollars in repairs coming widening almost every road in the county. Right now about 7000 people a year move to Henry county and with almost no available housing more new housing must be built now and going forward. Fact is you cannot stop people from moving here or anywhere in America and we should not want to as America is a free country. Many of the people who lead Henry County in the past tried to stop you from coming here but you came anyway and we are not going anywhere. So why would we try to do to new residents what they tried to do to us, mostly because of race. I as an elected leader in this community will work on preparing for the growth coming in 2040 now unlike the leaders of Henry County in the past who tried to actually stop diverse residents from coming. We will welcome everyone and embrace diversity and inclusion. I wish I had the time to catch you up on updated information about progress under new leadership. In fact $750 million are coming to widen numerous roads including Jonesboro Rd, Rock Quarry, Hwy 42, Hwy 81. Hwy 155, Hwy 20, Fairview Rd, Bill Gardner Pkwy, and Hudson Bridge Rd to Jonesboro Rd Connector Highway. Requirements for upgraded landscaping and mandatory HOAs are in place going forward. We as new leadership had to put those things in place because those before us tried to stop people like you and I from coming. You cannot make the new requirements retroactive so we can only correct what is coming. #traffic #henrycountytraffic #Diversity #Inclusion #atlantapopulation #racism #Stockbridgega #McDonoughga #LocustGroveGa #Hamptonga #henrycountyga #LocustGrovega #Gacities (at Henry County, Georgia)

Critical Henry County traffic improvement vote in November! Traffic improvements will be on the ballot in November to unclog our streets. The alternative is unthinkable with 400,000 residents on two lane roads in Henry County for the foreseeable future in 2030 and beyond with 8000 new residents moving here yearly! A Henry County Transportation Splost or T-Splost will go on the ballot in November and if approved by voters road projects like widening Jonesboro Rd, Rock Quarry Rd, McDonough Pkwy, Bill Gardner Pkwy, and numerous others roads can be widened to 4 lanes improving traffic. Stockbridge would receive $30 million and McDonough $27 million for additional transporting improvements. The plan is solid prioritizing need in Henry. The T-Splost or 1 cent sales tax could also build a Silver Comet Trail like trail system throughout Henry County! The Stockbridge plan will support traffic improvements widening Rock Quarry Rd and then extending Rock Quarry Rd to East Atlanta Rd at Valley Hill Rd solving the East Atlanta Rd bottleneck at North Henry Blvd. The Stockbridge plan will also build an Atlanta Beltline like trail/sidewalk network throughout the city. If you want traffic improved Go Vote in November!
