Work continues on improvements to Hayestone-Brady Business Park, current home to Caterpillar and North Georgia Technical College, in Stephens County.
A couple of months into the work, Development Authority Executive Director Tim Martin said they are pleased with the progress they are seeing. “We are about 55 to 56 percent complete on the water and wastewater installation and better than 50 percent complete on the road construction,” said Martin. “Doing those two things allows us grade some sites, so it allows us to work on that as well.”
The project consists of building a road that will pass through the park and connect the current Georgia Highway 17 to the future, four-lane Highway 17 as it is designed now, adding in water and sewer, and doing some site work to ready the park for business. It is expected to be complete by the end of the calendar year.
“Within the last 30 days, we have had some visitors in town and on each occasion, we have driven by the site and let them see that work is being done,” he said. “That is obviously better than just a promise we will do something. When you see work being done, it is better than a promise.”
