Hall County is hoping to pave eight gravel roads later this year, putting a small chink in ongoing efforts to reduce the some 60 miles of unpaved county-maintained roads it has on the books. The county is seeking bids by June 24 on its 2014 Grade, Base and Pave Program, with a contract possibly awarded by mid-July. Most of the roads targeted this year were already in the county’s road system, but in a couple of cases, residents petitioned the county to accept the roads.
