Toccoa and Stephens County remain in the running for a significant grant to help with a local water and sewer expansion project.
Stephens County Development Authority Executive Director Tim Martin says that the Economic Development Administration has contacted the Development Authority to tell it that its grant application for funding to help install sewer along the Toccoa By-pass was selected for further consideration for funding.
Martin said this is a very positive development.
“While this does not guarantee final approval or legally bind the EDA to make an award to us, we have cleared the biggest hurdle in the review process,” said Martin.
Martin went on to say that the Economic Development Administration is considering providing almost all of the funding requested by the Development Authority in the grant application.
“Our original application was for $1.5 million,” said Martin. “What we have been told is they may grant us $1.42 million dollars.”
Martin said they hope to find out in the Spring officially on whether the Development Authority receives the grant.
It would help fund sewer expansion from the intersection of the By-pass and Big A Road to the By-pass and Highway 106.
Toccoa and StephensCounty have designed a water and sewer expansion project that will build water and sewer improvements on Big A Road between Rose Lane and the Toccoa By-pass, as well as the By-pass between Big A Road and a location near the intersection of the By-pass and Highway 106.

Officials say that, according to figures provided by the Municipal Gas Authority of Georgia, during the period of 10 a.m. January 6 to 10 a.m. January 7, 9,320 Mcf of natural gas went through the city’s pipeline.
It was during that period that temperatures in Stephens County dropped into the single digits, with downtown Toccoa reaching seven degrees.
Meanwhile, that 9,320 Mcf figure is about seven times higher than the period between 10 a.m. Tuesday and 10 a.m. Wednesday when 1,304 Mcf went through the city’s pipeline.
One Mcf of natural gas equals 1,000 cubic feet of natural gas.
The high usage across natural gas systems across the East resulted in Toccoa Natural Gas cutting off its interruptible gas customers for a time last week to help curtail demand during the coldest weather.

Top state economic development officials take time to visit Stephens County.
Georgia Department of Economic Development Commissioner Chris Carr and his staff spent Wednesday traveling through the county, meeting with local officials.
Carr said the goal of the trip, which included other stops throughout Georgia, is for his team to build and establish relationships with local officials.
“Economic development, like politics, is, was, and always will be a people business and it is important to get in front of people to hear what is going on and to talk about the resources and the expertise that we can potentially bring to bear and partner with our communities,” said Carr.
