Hall County officials are poised to begin funneling more funds from the county’s special purpose local option sales tax revenues to begin phase 1 of the Spout Springs Road widening project in South Hall, particularly right of way acquisition. With the right of way property purchases coming up quickly, other SPLOST projects may have to be put on hold “until the cash flow” comes in, Hall officials said at a Board of Commissioners work session Monday. Public Works Director Ken Rearden presented for approval a right of way contract with the Georgia Department of Transportation in which the state agency commits to reimburse Hall County $21.67 million for the acquisition of right of way property that would pave the way for the project.
