Background
The Development Authority is seeking to develop a new roadway (Chattsworth

Court) that will service a new business in the Corporate Ridge Industrial

Park. The City has been asked to participate through the use of a County

Contract grant from the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT). GDOT has

awarded a grant in an amount not exceed $200,000 for this construction. To

establish the expenditure of these funds and to insure the oversight of this

project, it is necessary that the Development Authority and the City, enter

into a MOU.

The new roadway will promote new economic development in the community. By

utilizing GDOT funds, no city funds will be expended.

this project. Any costs beyond this amount will be the responsibility of the

developer for this site
