Fayette County

commissioners Thursday will revisit a joint project with Fayetteville

designed to ease traffic coming through the city on its state highways.

The group several

months ago agreed to share the cost of installing fiber optic technology

to interconnect the traffic signals on Ga. highways 54 and 85, so the

lights can be synchronized for better traffic movement.

Fayetteville

officials want to expand the project to include traffic lights on Ga.

Highway 314 up to Fayette Pavilion.

Also concerning

traffic lights, commissioners will discuss a proposal to put a light at

New Hope Road and Hwy. 314, possibly also connecting that light with the

rest of the lights.

Commissioners

also will consider a request from the Marietta Housing Authority that

the county allow local lenders to participate in a down payment assistance

program.

The program

will provide a 4 percent down payment assistance plus a first mortgage

loan to any home buyer earning up to 150 percent of the Atlanta area's

median family income, which is $94,650.
