Future improvements to Howard Road at Ga. 365 are being reviewed by Georgia Department of Transportation officials in Atlanta, and permits for the work could come in early August, officials said. “Once we get the approved permits ... it will take approximately 30 days for the work to be completed,” said Terrica Oglesby, spokeswoman for RaceTrac. The convenience store chain is working with the city of Gainesville and the DOT on the project, which was developed after an April 28 crash that resulted in the death of Anna Hermansen of Clayton.
