The Georgia Department of Transportation is providing Catoosa County with funds to pave 6.79 miles of road this year through the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant Program.
A percentage of the state’s motor vehicle fuel tax goes toward the grant program, which provides annual funding to local governments for roadway improvements.
Catoosa County’s 2021 LMIG of $708,837.40 requires a 30% match from the county in the amount of $212,651.22, Public Works project inspector Jeremy Bryson said.
The county will pay for its portion using special-purpose local option sales tax funds.
Commissioners unanimously approved the grant at the board’s Dec. 15 meeting.
