RN-T.com – Funding OK d for environmental study

The Rome-Floyd Development Authority has decided to take on full funding of an environmental study at the 100-acre industrial site at the intersection of Ga. 53 and Ga. 140.

The RFDA and the Development Authority of Floyd County jointly own the site, but the DAFC is cash-strapped. Corblu Ecology Group will perform the environmental study at a cost not to exceed $7,800. RFDA Chairman Doc Kibler said the base cost of the study is $6,000, and it could increase to $7,800 depending on the number of soil samples and core drillings required.

The study is one of the final items needed to have the site certified under Georgia Ready for Accelerated Development status. GRAD status indicates to prospective industries that the property could be developed quickly.
