Four Cherokee projects are part of the package. They include:

- $70 million to widen Hickory Flat Highway from East Cherokee Drive to Mountain Road.
- $70 million to widen Hickory Flat Highway from Interstate 575 to East Cherokee Drive.
- $50 million to widen Hickory Flat Highway from Mountain Road to the Fulton County line.
The full 21-member Roundtable has until Oct. 15 to approve the draft. Once approved, the list will be forwarded to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
