The metro Atlanta area population is surging and projected to be 8.3 million people in 2040 adding 3 million more people than today. The Henry County population is now at 246,900 right now and expected to ballon toas high as 400,000 people if current growth rates continue. Traffic is here to stay even with ¾ of a billion dollars in repairs coming widening almost every road in the county. Right now about 7000 people a year move to Henry county and with almost no available housing more new housing must be built now and going forward. Fact is you cannot stop people from moving here or anywhere in America and we should not want to as America is a free country. Many of the people who lead Henry County in the past tried to stop you from coming here but you came anyway and we are not going anywhere. So why would we try to do to new residents what they tried to do to us, mostly because of race. I as an elected leader in this community will work on preparing for the growth coming in 2040 now unlike the leaders of Henry County in the past who tried to actually stop diverse residents from coming. We will welcome everyone and embrace diversity and inclusion. I wish I had the time to catch you up on updated information about progress under new leadership. In fact $750 million are coming to widen numerous roads including Jonesboro Rd, Rock Quarry, Hwy 42, Hwy 81. Hwy 155, Hwy 20, Fairview Rd, Bill Gardner Pkwy, and Hudson Bridge Rd to Jonesboro Rd Connector Highway. Requirements for upgraded landscaping and mandatory HOAs are in place going forward. We as new leadership had to put those things in place because those before us tried to stop people like you and I from coming. You cannot make the new requirements retroactive so we can only correct what is coming. #traffic #henrycountytraffic #Diversity #Inclusion #atlantapopulation #racism #Stockbridgega #McDonoughga #LocustGroveGa #Hamptonga #henrycountyga #LocustGrovega #Gacities (at Henry County, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFDj46rjkc/?utm_medium=tumblr
