    Less Than $1 Million For DeKalb In First Road Stimulus Distribution

    Decatur Metro | April 9, 2009 | 11:14 am

    A list of the first stimulus-funded road projects released by the Atlanta Business Chronicle shows only a single $887,000 project for all of DeKalb County (South and North Hairiston Road).   But take heart, that’s one more road project than Cobb County received.  The big winners in this first round of funding, which according to ABC counts toward 25% of total road funding, seem to be Fulton and Gwinnett County (if you consider road-widening a “win”).

    Most of the approved projects thus far focus on “maintainance”, though the most expensive projects revolve around “capacity” and “bridges.”

    As this money continues to be distributed, it will be interesting to see how the amount of $ spent in a county stacks up against its population.  Hopefully someone with more time can pull something like this together.
