Hwy 166

We surveyed gardeners at the Home Depot and asked them what would beautify the area. We also met with the county Commissioner's office and learned this area belongs to GDOT.

We will lead this community project with our peers to petition to budget for a beautification project. Our idea of the digital board may not meet the state compliance or requirements.

Gardeners' Comments

Low bushes, encore azalea, something that comes every season, day lilies

Imagine

Douglas County engineer explained that the digital board might be too distracting and low ground covering or placing something in the surrounding area is something to think about. Here's an example that the engineering department provided for us to imagine.

Raising Money

When starting a business, entrepreneurs need to raise money. The majority, 90% or more use their own funds, i.e., sell their assets, or use savings or credit cards.

We sold our assets to help raise money for our ReachBack dues and community project expenses, and kept a portion for ourselves.

OOPS! I think we forgot we had bills...
