Cobb County to fight for $2.3bn road PPP

‘West by Northwest’ met an unceremonious end, with Georgia governor Nathan Deal panning the project in public. But a local county is bemoaning its demise – and pushing for its revival.

In December, ‘West by Northwest’ (WxNW), a proposed $2.3 billion public-private partnership (PPP) project seen as a major corridor improvement for Interstate 75 and Interstate 575 in Atlanta, Georgia ground to an abrupt halt – with no immediate explanation.

Then, a month later, Georgia governor Nathan Deal in his “state of the state” speech lambasted WxNW, taking credit for killing the PPP.
