Oconee County Commissioners Approve One New Road But Put A Halt To Three Controversial Road Project Agreements With State
New roadway between Epps Bridge Parkway and the Oconee Connector is approved, along with walking trail paving at Veterans Park.
The landowners behind Wal-Mart and Lowe’s on Epps Bridge Parkway got approval of a contract for design work for a new roadway to open up their land for future development.
The Industrial Development Authority got encouragement to continue its work on prezoning of land now classified for other use to spur more commercial and industrial development in the county.
Those who use the walking trail in Oconee Veterans Park got paving for an additional three-quarters of a mile, closing the now-incomplete loop.
And those concerned about the widening of Daniells Bridge Road, construction of an extension of that road to fly over SR Loop 10, and the widening of Jimmy Daniell Road got a reprieve.
The Board of Commissioners spent nearly two and a half hours on Tuesday night dealing with these issues and more.
For details of those discussions, go to Oconee County Observations.
