Development in Flowery Branch is expected to be spurred by Exit 14, and with construction projected to begin in 2017, community development director John McHenry said he anticipates property nearest to the interchange will be retail and commercial. The interchange project, which could go to construction in 2017, calls for construction of a four-lane road with 4-foot bike lanes on each side, 12-foot shoulders and a 5-foot sidewalk. The city has also been waiting for some transportation improvements like the widening of Spout Springs Road.
