Transportation Enhancements

Enriching quality of life in Georgia’s communities By Liz Rothman

Throughout its history, Georgia has been a state on the move, from Putnam County’s Rock Hawk Effigy to the Savannah River’s scenic Ebenezer community, from 19th century railroad depots and stagecoach houses that served as the nucleus of booming agricultural and industrial homesteads to the winding paths that were the earliest trails for pedestrians and bicycles. The history of Georgia is told along the roads, paths, and tracks that connect its towns and its people. Central to these stories is the effect of transportation on an evolving Georgia. Transportation Enhancements (TE) bring Georgia’s history to life. They explore our past. They preserve our story.
