Oconee County Commission Chairman Says More Information Needed Regarding U.S. 441 Widening But Withholds Maps Of Project
Chairman Davis said he agreed there was confusion and that he wanted to help solve that.
Oconee County Board of Commissioners Chairman Melvin Davis Tuesday night refused to put onto the county website maps that the George Department of Transportation provided him in June showing the route under review for the widening of U.S. 441 and construction of the Bishop bypass.
Davis took that action following a request by Carole Ludwig, one of the landowners in the area, that the county and GDOT be more forthcoming in providing information about the project.
Davis said he agreed there was confusion and that he wanted to help solve that.
When asked specifically to put the maps from the June meeting on the county website, Davis said he would have to get clearance from the state before agreeing to do that.
No member of the Board of Commissioners countered Davis’ decision.
