“I want to thank Secretary Chao for the invitation to attend the INFRA grant awards, and for her efforts in helping Cobb County secure a grant for the Akers Mill Ramp. Also vitally important to this effort was Georgia DOT Commissioner, Russell McMurry, who elevated Akers Mill to a top infrastructure project in Georgia. Without his advocacy, this grant would not have been awarded. This vital addition to the Cobb managed lanes project will provide safer, more streamlined access for commuters traveling on Interstate 75 in Cobb County.”
