Congressman David Scott announced today that the House of Representatives approved $200,000 in federal funding to design and build the Chattahoochee Hill Country Regional Greenway Trail. The trail will connect through Fulton, Carroll, Coweta and Douglas Counties. The individual counties have funded planning studies for the trail. The project was included in the bill funding the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, and other agencies for Fiscal Year 2007.

“As Fulton County continues to grow and develop, these projects make a direct contribution to improving the lives and well-being of our citizens. I am happy to bring these funds home to the district,” said Congressman Scott.

Last year, in legislation authorizing federal surface transportation programs Congressman Scott secured $2,000,000 for the Chattahoochee Hill Country regional greenway master plan.

The Committee-passed appropriations bill must be approved by the full U.S. House of Representatives and then approved by the Senate.
