Good Things Happen Here


Buckeye Road Bridge Replacement Work Begins Monday

The Buckeye Road bridge over Buckeye Creek one mile south of the Johnson County line was built in 1958 and currently posted for load restrictions. Gregory Bridge will soon begin a $1.772 million replacement contract for 0.123 miles of new approaches and a modern bridge to be completed by March 31, 2022.

Weather permitting, crews will mobilize for clearing activities today in preparation for major construction and a required 120-day duration road closure. The detour startup date is to be determined.

Once in place, the local detour for this project uses New Buckeye Road, Robert Plummer Road, Watermelon Road and State Route 57.

GDOT helps local governments reduce the number of posted and closed bridges throughout the state using different replacement programs. Each bridge has structural issues and will be brought up to modern design standards. These projects typically require a 90 to 120-day detour once under construction.



Boys & Girls Club Announces Name Change to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta
 

Boys & Girls Clubs of the CSRA, the Augusta area’s premier youth development organization, announces a name change to Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Augusta. The name change reflects the non-profit’s unique history of service to the Augusta area while providing room for growth and encompassing the surrounding counties the organization currently serves. 

“Our name change will more clearly communicate who we are and where we serve,” says Boys & Girls Clubs CEO, Kim Evans. “So often, when we work with people who live outside of this area, we find that they are confused about where our Clubs are located. We frequently hear questions that present the need to clarify, such as, ‘What does CSRA stand for?’ followed by ‘Are you in Savannah?’. Our city’s name is recognized and respected globally and the name change allows us to use that recognition to broaden our impact.”





Dear friends and clients of Warthen Lane:
We are looking forward to moving to our new location at the Town Shop located at 207 North Harris Street in Sandersville. Unfortunately, the space has required more time than expected to make it perfect for our new home. Our showroom will open in the new space in a few weeks. The Pringle Building showroom is temporarily closed, but our design services, floral services and gift services are still available by calling our regular phone number (478.552.7722). Thank you for your past business, your future business and your understanding during this transition period. We are looking forward to each of you joining with us to celebrate our exciting new space at the Town Shop.
All the Best!
Al D. Woods
