Statesboro-Bulloch County to host transportation meeting Sept. 19

The City of Statesboro and Bulloch County Board of Commissioners will host a public open house regarding the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan on Thursday, September 19, 2024, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Statesboro First United Methodist Church located at 101 South Main Street, Statesboro. Members of the public are invited to share their ideas and provide feedback on proposed transportation projects in Bulloch County.

“Updating our Long Range Transportation Plan will assist the city and county with identifying problem areas in our existing traffic plans and help us prioritize future transportation infrastructure projects,” says John Washington, City of Statesboro Public Works & Engineering Director.

The City and County have contracted Goodwyn Mills Cawood (GMC), a national planning and engineering firm, to conduct research and compile the Long Range Transportation Plan which will serve as a blueprint for future transportation projects and expected population growth in Bulloch County over the next 20 years.

“The foundation of a thriving community is a well-planned transportation and mobility network,” says James Pope, Planning and Development Director, Bulloch County. “This public input opportunity affords everyone a chance to view proposed projects and provide feedback for priority ranking. Public participation serves as the core of our planning efforts, and we ask for everyone’s input to develop the best plan possible.”

The open house will include a presentation explaining the planning process and a summary of feedback received thus far. Attendees will also be able to participate in an interactive exercise to provide input on the proposed transportation priorities.
