LOCUST GROVE — Locust Grove officials approved a resolution Monday urging the Georgia Department of Transportation to place the new Interstate 75 industrial interchange project on its priority list, and suggested that the new interchange be located south of the Bethlehem Road overpass.

Nearly half of Bethlehem Road is located in the city limits of Locust Grove, according to City Manager Tim Young.
