“On March 26, the Mayor and City Council unanimously approved a three-year agreement with C.W. Matthews that focuses on improving 76 streets and approximately 42.81 lane miles. The cost of these improvements is approximately $20 million and utilizes SPLOST II (Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax) funding,” city officials said.

Describing the current paving project, Brookhaven officials said the project starting May 13 would let them repair more streets, and faster, due to use of what they said was full width roadway million, allowing them to ground and remove current asphalt while also adding two to three inches of new asphalt across the roadways.
