Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Fri, Dec 21, 2007 at 10:19 PM
Every year, the Georgia DOT doles out federal cash to streetscape projects aimed at "enriching the transportation experience." The federal government provides 80 percent of the funds and local government covers the remainder of the cost.
