$2M Grant Awarded To Extend Davis Drive In Alpharetta

ALPHARETTA, GA — The North Fulton Community Improvement District was awarded a $2 million grant from the State Road and Tollway Authority for its Davis Drive Extension project in Alpharetta. The North Fulton CID was one of 19 organizations that received funding for transportation infrastructure projects across the state.

“We are thrilled to receive this grant for the Davis Drive Extension project,” said Brandon Beach, North Fulton CID executive director. “We prioritized this project based on safety and connectivity for the North Fulton community, and this funding will help us move this project forward to construction.”

The project will extend Davis Drive to the intersection of Westside Parkway and Sanctuary Parkway, modifying the existing four-lane configuration to a two-lane configuration with a center turn lane and bike lanes in each direction. The project aims to improve connectivity to Mansell Road and GA-400 and improve safety by preventing parking lot cut-throughs.
