Mr. Poteet stated that the Southwest By-Pass does not seem to be utilized as much as had been hoped or planned. If that road could be utilized to move the folks who are going to Richmond Hill or Interstate 95 that would relieve Georgetown s problems at that intersection. The Wal-Mart Supercenter will increase traffic at U. S. Highway 17 and State Route 204. The Southwest By-Pass is the key to reducing congestion. Col. Locklear stated that traditional type governments, such as those in Georgia elect people who go into City Hall and lock the door.
Movement is toward a more progressive type government in Georgia.
People with vision are what we need to put into office. Prior to this time we did not have that. It is coming to a point where more progressive people with vision are coming into government. Ms. McCracken added that we are about to do the same thing on Hutchinson Island. We are going to allow all of that to be developed and then worry about where we might put a bridge if that is the solution to Bay Street.
