Georgia Returned Millions Of Dollars Meant For Transportation Projects

The state got $155.3 million during fiscal year 2013 which it gave to regional planning commissions, which had until Sept. 30 to spend or assign it. Not all commissions used their funds.

Editor’s Note: The Georgia Dept. of Transportation contacted WABE Monday, Nov. 6, and said some of the information provided for this news story is not correct. G-DOT officials say it is true that the $4.3M had to be returned to the federal government, but the agency was not correct in its naming of the municipal planning organizations that failed to spend the funds. Those municipalities have been removed from this report. A spokesperson says G-DOT’s finance department is now working to determine the correct information.

Georgia’s Department of Transportation recently gave back $4.3 million dollars in federal funding meant for transportation projects.
