Leaders of Save South Oconee, in their first public meeting last week, gave an upbeat assessment of their efforts to communicate their view that the proposed routes for a truck bypass connecting SR 15 with U.S. 441 would negatively affect the south of the county.
Jason Smith, co-chair of Save South Oconee, said he and his colleagues have reached out to elected officials throughout the county and, with the exception of officials from the city of Watkinsville, those officials have been responsive.
