Input sought on SR 365 Planning Study

The Georgia Department of Transportation is seeking public input into its future plans for State Route 365.

Georgia DOT will host a public meeting for the State Route 365 Planning Study today, March 1, from 4-7 p.m. at the DOT District Office in Gainesville. The purpose of the meeting is to inform the public of the study and to request feedback that will be used in developing project recommendations.

According to the DOT, the planning study will evaluate current and future year travel conditions along and adjacent to the corridor in Hall County. Additionally, the plan aims to develop and evaluate transportation improvement recommendations and strategies to accommodate future travel growth.

“With a growing need and focus on freight-specific movement, the planning study will also address how the future Northeast Georgia Inland Port will impact freight operations along State Route 365,” the DOT website states.

The public is encouraged to attend the meeting to ask questions and offer input.

The Georgia DOT District 1 (Northeast Region) Office is located at 1475 Jesse Jewell Parkway, Building 2, Suite 100, in Gainesville.
