Children of Conservation is once again giving Atlanta residents the opportunity to save at some of the city’s top restaurants while also supporting an important cause. The non-profit organization known for providing an otherwise unavailable education to children of wildlife sanctuary workers in Africa is teaming up with over 85 local restaurants in all areas of Atlanta for its second annual Dinner & A Cause Card fundraiser.

ATLANTA -- Four road projects in northeast Georgia have been awarded a total of $18.8 million by the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Dawson, Forsyth, Hall and Madison counties will benefit from the funds and the corresponding roadwork, GDOT announced Tuesday.

"Many of the projects awarded are expensive, large-scale improvements to major interstate highways and other major arteries," GDOT Commissioner Keith Golden said in a statement. "Others are smaller jobs on less travelled city streets and county roads. But each one, regardless of its size or cost, represents an important enhancement to the safety, growth or maintenance of Georgia's transportation network."

Crews plan to extended the northbound lane of Ga. 400 from McFarland Road to Big Creek Greenway in Forsyth County. The work also includes an extension of the northbound Abernathy Road ramp.
