Bishop Pleased with Permit for Tired Creek

Washington, DC – Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-2) today issued the following statement on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit for Tired Creek:

“I am very pleased that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has issued the permit for the Tired Creek project. I have been working on this project with Grady County officials for many years now, so it is exciting to see our efforts come to fruition with the issuance of this permit. It is my hope that this project will stimulate the Grady County economy and community well-being, so I look forward to seeing the development as it progresses and the success of Tired Creek.”

Earlier this month, Congressman Bishop met at Tired Creek with officials from Grady County, the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Florida Fish and Wildlife, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, and other constituents to discuss the project in an effort to revive stalled negotiations regarding the issuance of the permit.
