All four proposed routes of the Northern Connector have been unanimously voted down by the Hall County Commissioners on Thursday, at the behest of Debbie Lawson Davis, president of the Lake Lanier Community Preservation Association.
Due to the negative impact on North Hall homes, the Olympic Venue at Lake Lanier and the enormous cost of building several new bridges across the lake, all proposed routes are off the board, even if just in planning stages and years away from getting started.
Commissioner Billy Powell said in his motion only existing roads should be considered, Steve Gailey added those should be state routes, which should help land values that have been hurt by the specter of new roads.
