State: Bibb needs to front $10 million for Jeffersonville Road | Politics | Macon.com

Bibb County taxpayers are supposed to front about $10 million for several years to start rebuilding Jeffersonville Road — and may not get more than $1 million reimbursed even then, county officials said Thursday night.

Commissioners said the Georgia Department of Transportation’s demands are tied to fights over a widening of Forest Hill Road. In a May letter, state Transportation Commissioner Keith Golden said the department wouldn’t pay to buy land for the Jeffersonville Road widening. He wrote, “The decision not to take this internally is primarily related to the ongoing litigation on a recent local road transportation improvement, the potential impacts related to this local community and limitations with our own resource availability.”
