Congressman Scott Announces Federal Funds for Stockbridge


Washington, Nov 18, 2005 - Today, U.S. Representative David Scott (GA-13) announced that federal funds totaling $530,000 have been awarded to the City of Stockbridge for a pedestrian trail project. The project was included in the bill funding the U.S. Departments of Transportation, Treasury, Housing and Urban Development, and other agencies for Fiscal Year 2006.

“I am pleased to be able to provide the City of Stockbridge with assistance in improving trails in their parks,” Congressman Scott said. “This worthy project will assist the City greatly in improving the access to area parks and recreation for residents.”

Stockbridge will utilize their federal award to construct a pedestrian tunnel under the Norfolk Southern Railroad to connect Davis Road and East Atlanta Road. This path will connect Clark Park and Gardner Park.

The U.S House of Representatives passed the FY 2006 spending bill today. It must now be signed into law by the President.
