Spout Springs Road has one noticeable property owner that would be affected by a planned widening of the busy South Hall artery: the Georgia Department of Transportation. The DOT operates a shop on a 3-acre site close to where Spout Springs approaches Hog Mountain Road and where a four-lane widening would begin. The shop’s driveway and some parkway will be affected, as early drawings show the right of way coming within 10-12 feet of the building, said Teri Pope, the DOT’s spokeswoman for District 1, which includes Hall County.
