Preliminary

work continued this week on the expansion of TDK Boulevard as leaders

from Coweta and Fayette gathered to examine engineering reports.

Coweta County

Commissioner Vernon "Mutt" Hunter said the meeting with Fayette

County Commission chairman Greg Dunn went well, and both sides are looking

over engineering documents and seeing what needs to be finished.

In fact, the

Coweta County Commission voted this week to let the contract for grading

of its portion of the road.

On the Fayette

side of the creek, Hunter said, there are more challenges.

"There's

a lot of rock that they have to deal with. Our side has pretty good terrain

for grading," Hunter said.

Hunter is hoping

to get some state aid in funding for the project, and said Coweta County

has already ponied up $75,000 in engineering costs.

The Coweta

County commissioner said there is no exact timeline for the project, but

he would love to see it start as soon as possible.
