Each year, the county receives grant funds from Georgia DOT for local road maintenance. Henry County approved on January 7 how it intends to spend its LMIG 2025 dollars.
The county will receive about $2.6 million in 2025. They must provide a 30% local match, or $774 thousand. This will pay for an estimated six miles of resurfacing. By contrast, the county is responsible to maintain over 1,200 miles of local roads.
Henry County LMIG 2025
The county’s LMIG 2025 dollars will pay to resurface the following roads:
District 1
- Duncan’s Mill Drive
- Wood Drive
- Lafayette Street
District 2
- Dennis Drive
- Honda Court
- Northtowne Cove
- Asgard Court
Dist. 3

Almost all of the above streets are inside subdivisions. The county typically places the resurfacing contract out for bid in the spring. Resurfacing work may then occur in the summer and fall.
Road Scoring System
Henry County uses a road scoring system to determine which roads to resurface. This scoring is completed by a third-party company. It consists of a grade between 0-100 based on the roadway’s condition. Roads on this year’s LMIG list have ratings in the 30s-50s.
The county’s scoring system was completed in 2022. The DOT is presently looking to update it. A request for qualifications from interested vendors closes on January 23, 2025.
