The Henry Reporter, originally Moving Henry Forward, was founded in 2017 to share transportation updates about Henry County. Local resident Clayton Carte saw a need to highlight upcoming road projects. He started covering other topics, such as new construction, in spring 2018.
Since then, the website has grown into a popular source of community news. News coverage includes the following:
- Transportation projects,
- New developments and rezoning requests,
- Henry County Schools and education SPLOST projects,
- County and city government, and
- Local elections.

Meet Clayton
Clayton Carte grew up in Henry County and graduated from Ola High School. He presently resides in Locust Grove. Clayton ran for the Georgia State House in 2022. Though he was not successful, the major themes of his campaign — advocating for transportation projects and improved local government operations — remain important to him.
Clayton is an Eagle Scout and enjoys the outdoors. His favorite national park is the New River Gorge in West Virginia. The Great Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge Parkway are also favorites.
Clayton presently serves on the Henry County Schools Superintendent’s Advisory Council. He previously served as the SPLOST V Committee Chair in 2019. Clayton also collaborated on county committees for the 2018 and 2023 comprehensive plans.
In May 2023, Clayton began working for Henry County Commissioner Johnny Wilson as his assistant. The news content published on The Henry Reporter is independent and separate from Clayton’s employment with Commissioner Wilson.
