District V Commissioner Bruce Holmes along with county leadership and community partners celebrated the long-awaited Panola Mountain Greenway Trail PATH project with a groundbreaking ceremony last week. The ceremony opened with Holmes greeting guests and thanking them for their presence and support. He further shared with the crowd that it took eight years to get to this phase of the project underway and explained that there was a time he didn’t think the project would come to fruition. Holmes said that with the help and partnership from staff, the Georgia Department of Transportation and the PATH Foundation, the project was made possible. “We hope that one day in the future we’ll be able to bike, ride or even jog to the city of Atlanta,” said Holmes. “We’re hoping that’s going to be a possibility, and with hard work, dedication and with the people that we have around us and the leadership, I believe that it will happen.” GDOT board member Dana Lemon was in attendance and congratulated all who were involved.
