Georgia and federal transportation officials came together Tuesday
in Hapeville to celebrate the first stimulus-funded road project
to go under construction in metro Atlanta. Georgia received $787
federal stimulus dollars to boost its roadbuilding industry.
The repaving in Hapeville is expected to put $940,841 back into
Georgia`s economy.
The project is to pave 4.2 miles of Ga. Hwy. 3, a commercial
corridor in Clayton and Fulton counties near Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport.
Gov. Sonny Perdue, state Transportation Commissioner Vance Smith
and others joined John Porcari, President Obama’s deputy
secretary of transportation, for the groundbreaking in Hapeville.
