Oconee County Sounding Board On U.S. 441 Widening And Bishop Bypass To Meet Tuesday
Attendees will include legislators, Georgia Department of Transportation officials, and 441 Sounding Board members.
The newly appointed Sounding Board on the widening of U.S. 441 and construction of a bypass of Bishop is set to hold its first meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the Community Center, 4951 U.S. 441 in Bishop.
Attendees will include legislators, Georgia Department of Transportation officials, and 441 Sounding Board members, according to an announcement released by Oconee County Clerk Jane Greathouse early this afternoon and now on the county web site.
The Oconee County Board of Commissioners “affirmed” Chairman Melvin Davis’ selection of the eight-member sounding board at the BOC meeting on Tuesday night.
Because of that action, the Sounding Board falls under the state’s Open Meetings Act, meaning that the Tuesday session will be open to the public.
