The Draft STIP lists Federally-funded transportation projects that are located outside Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) boundaries. Each MPO develops its own Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and questions about projects in those areas of the state may be directed to the individual MPO shown in the MPO Contacts section of this Draft STIP. The TIPs are included in the Draft STIP by reference without modification once approved by the MPO and the Governor or his designee. Purpose In order to receive Federal transportation project funds, the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) produces the STIP annually. The STIP lists all highway, public transit, and multimodal projects proposed for funding under Title 23 (highways) and Title 49 (transit) of the U.S. Code. The STIP includes Highway, Bridge, Bicycle, Pedestrian, Safety, Transportation Enhancement Activities and Public Transportation (transit) projects. Project-related costs, such as preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way acquisition (ROW), and construction (CST) are shown for highway projects; capital and operating costs are shown for transit projects. The projects are organized in alphabetical order by county with information on cost, description and fiscal year. Projects that extend into multiple counties are shown in the STIP under each county the project enters. Please see the Understanding STIP Entries Section on page 32 for detailed information on how to read STIP entries. Development Projects listed in this document were identified through GDOT’s ongoing planning processes and are vital to the state’s transportation program. Projects in the Draft STIP emphasize the maintenance, safety, and improvement of existing transportation facilities and public transportation systems. The projects support GDOT’s mission to provide a safe, seamless and sustainable transportation system that supports Georgia’s economy and is sensitive to its citizens and environment. The Draft STIP is developed under the framework of the 2010-2030 2 Statewide Strategic Transportation Plan (SSTP) in an effort to coincide with the Governor’s Strategic Goals for Georgia and to achieve the outlined goals of: supporting Georgia’s economic growth and competitiveness; ensuring safety and security; maximizing the value of Georgia’s assets; and minimizing impact on the environment. This year’s Draft STIP makes great strides in the effective movement of freight around the state. Widenings along corridors designated under the Governor’s Road Improvement Program (GRIP) – see Appendix D (GRIP map) – and key connections to the interstate will improve the flow of freight throughout the state. There are also numerous congestion relief projects including several state route widenings and bypasses. However, as federal funds become limited in the future, we should expect more and more projects that can be classified as “asset management”. The 2010-2030 SSTP is available online at: www.it3.ga.gov. This Draft STIP serves as a document to provide all citizens and interested stakeholders with the opportunity to review and comment on the state’s transportation priorities for the next four fiscal years. Additionally in the non-MPO areas which the Draft STIP covers, projects are identified in direct cooperation with rural (non-MPO) local governments through formal, annual face-to-face meetings with GDOT as well as regular/ongoing informal contact with GDOT throughout the rest of the year. It is also developed with input from stakeholders and the general public. The Draft STIP was developed under all relevant guidelines provided by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), passed by Congress in 1998 and continued with the passage of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) in 2005 and most recently the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) passed by Congress in 2012. The Draft STIP is submitted to the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit Administration for final approval. Public Involvement Through direct contact with local elected officials, as well as stakeholders and the general public, the Draft STIP is presented for consideration and comments throughout its development. In addition to the face-to-face meetings with local elected officials, the Draft STIP is presented at public meetings held around the state by GDOT staff that encourages questions and input. These meetings are held at various locations and are advertised through mailings and press releases. Comments and questions can also be submitted by mail, e-mail and telephone/fax directly to GDOT staff at any time throughout the year. The Draft STIP is also available on the internet at: www.dot.ga.gov/stip 3 Funding The Draft STIP is fiscally balanced and includes only those projects with funding available or having a reasonable expectation to obtain funds. Federal funds for fiscal years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 are program estimates and will not be final until after the Federal budget is implemented on October 1st of each year. Cost estimates for individual projects are based on the best available engineering estimates. These costs may change as a project progresses from preliminary engineering to the purchase of right of way to construction. If a cost estimate results from a change in the original scope of the project, the STIP will be amended including the necessary public involvement. If an increased cost estimate is based on updated engineering improvements rather than a change in the actual work, no amendment to the STIP is necessary if the cost increase is less than $2,000,000 or 20% of the amount to be authorized. The 20% scenario amount may not exceed $10,000,000. Greater detail may be found in the Financial Plan Section beginning on page 13. The most current Census data (2010) indicates that Georgia’s population growth rate from 2000 to 2010 was 18.3%, which is more than double the U. S. average population growth of 9.7% over the same time period. Georgia’s economy is also growing, leading to increased demands on the transportation system. The STIP process ensures that maximum benefits are received from available funding and that Georgia’s transportation system will continue to support and promote Georgia’s growth and economy. Based on the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP Project 20-24 (37)), Georgia invests less per capita in transportation than most other states. Despite this fact, Georgia ranks 1st for construction projects on budget at 85% and ranks 2nd for construction projects delivered on time at 85%. Georgia’s ranking is based on a 39-state study. Project List The continued emergence of the Port at the Savannah complex as one of the leading container ports in the United States has provided Georgia a great strategic transportation asset, giving the State a larger role in global trade. Savannah’s growth has introduced a range of economic development opportunities, particularly for distribution, warehousing, and manufacturing. Freight volumes, mostly in the form of containers handled by the Savannah Port Complex, have a direct impact on Georgia’s highway and rail networks.

P.O. Box 250 Ellerslie, Georgia 31807 Principal Investigator, Daniel T. Elliott _________________________________ April 2002 Abstract Archaeological data recovery at the Hannah’s Quarter site (9Jf195) in rural Jefferson County, Georgia was conducted by Southern Research Historic Preservation Consultants in 2001. This project was performed for the Georgia Department of Transportation through a contract with Earth Tech in Raleigh, NC as Section 106 compliance in advance of the Fall Line Freeway construction. The archaeological study uncovered a small residential compound from the late eighteenth through early nineteenth centuries. Three dwelling loci and one possible outbuilding locus were delineated. The occupation at this site was evidenced by a series of cultural features, including pits, posts, and cellars and extremely sparse material culture evidence. The settlement began as part of the Queensborough Township, which was populated by Scots-Irish Presbyterians from northern Ireland from about 1768 to 1772. William Hannah was identified as a strong candidate for being the original owner of the property at 9Jf195.

  • 2022 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (Ceds)
    2017 – 2022 COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (CEDS) For Economic Prosperity in a Thriving Middle Georgia DRAFT – FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ONLY Prepared for: U.S. Economic Development Administration Middle Georgia Economic Development District 1 Executive Summary When charting the course for the Middle Georgia Economic Development District for the next five, ten, and twenty years, regional leaders focused on one adjective: THRIVING. In times where it seems overly difficult for a community to simply survive, the goal must be to aim higher. Middle Georgia seeks to be a diverse region of opportunity, where people want to live, learn, work, and play. This guiding vision drives the Middle Georgia Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) toward the end goal of increasing economic prosperity for all within the region. Certainly, there are challenges in the Middle Georgia region. Economically, the region lags behind most other regions in terms of the well-being of its residents; many individuals find themselves out of work and without the necessary skills to obtain employment. Middle Georgia also tends to fall behind others in innovation. The leading edge of industry is too often found elsewhere, with Middle Georgia struggling to catch up. However, many of the resources necessary to undertake a regional transformation are already in place. A number of industries are poised to see significant growth in Middle Georgia, and a renewed focus on fostering entrepreneurship in the region has the potential to drive new growth and development. The greatest need over the next five years is to support projects which increase the region’s capacity for continued growth and adequately position Middle Georgia to capitalize on growing trends in the national market.
