The paths are getting longer in Clayton County, with the green signal on extending the River’s Edge Greenway Trail, according to official sources. The Phase 3 and Phase 4 extensions of the trail will add around two miles, connecting the community even further. As the Phase 2 leg reaches completion, running across Plantation Pkwy and over Harbour Town Pkwy to the Harbour Lake Dr. cul-de-sac, plans for the subsequent phases are unfurling.

Parallel to Fairway Overlook extending, Phase 3 will start at the Harbour Lake Dr. cul-de-sac, while Phase 4 will encircle the lake nestled between Gleneagles Dr. and Gleneagles Way. The endpoint of Phase 4 is set at the club house located on Plantation Pkwy. Prime Engineering comes into play here, behind the scenes crafting the designs for what promises to be a boon for the area's Quality of Life: Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST) project.

With an aim to bolster county-wide improvements, the project solicitation window remains open until April 30, as per the Clayton County announcement. The county emphasizes the impact of SPLOST, which has been directing funds from a one-cent sales tax to crucial capital improvements across infrastructure and public safety since 2004.

Residents looking for details on the progress of the River’s Edge Greenway Trail extension or any of the SPLOST projects with cents adding up to significant advances can head to www.claytonsplost.com. They're paving the way for more than just concrete trails but for a better community experience overall. The residents can also reach out to Valerie L.
