The February 24, 2026, Stockbridge City Council meeting focused on significant infrastructure planning, particularly the Rock Quarry Road projects, and was marked by discussions regarding administrative procedures and community concerns.
Ceremonial and Procedural Actions
A brief conflict arose when Mayor Pro Tem Alexander moved to add a vote on the Lee Street name change to the agenda. Councilwoman Barber opposed this, noting it was not a priority for her district and that staff needed more time to notify residents. The motion was eventually withdrawn after legal and staff clarification that a 15-day public hearing notification process was required and had already been advertised for March 9.
Public Comments: Rock Quarry Road Extension
Several residents from Duval Drive and surrounding streets expressed deep concern over a map they received—apparently from a private individual rather than the city—showing the Rock Quarry Road extension passing through their neighborhood. Residents voiced fears that the project would destroy their “quiet little street” and quality of life. City staff and council members clarified that they had not distributed the flyers and that no city-led discussion had prioritized a route through that neighborhood.
New Business: Infrastructure and Funding
The council addressed two major items regarding Rock Quarry Road:
- Preliminary Design Task Order: The council approved a $167,900 task order with Falcon Design for the preliminary engineering of the Rock Quarry Road extension. The project’s representative, Adam Price, explicitly stated that the Duval Drive route had been eliminated and the proposed route would connect North Henry Boulevard to Old Conyers Road. While the full project could cost between $40 and $50 million and take up to 15 years to secure funding, the current goal is to create a “shovel-ready” design. The motion passed 4-0.
- T-SPLOST Reimbursement: The council authorized the City Treasurer to reimburse Henry County $4 million for the ongoing Rock Quarry Road widening project. The payments will be structured as $2 million in 2026, $1 million in 2027, and $1 million in 2028. This widening project, separate from the extension, will result in a four-lane road with multi-use paths and sidewalks by 2028.
Closing and Executive Session
The council moved the executive session to the end of the meeting to accommodate the large number of residents in attendance. After reconvening, the Mayor announced upcoming events, including a Women’s History Month event and a Clergy Roundtable scheduled for March 2. The meeting was adjourned shortly thereafter.
