He’s one of the people to thank for the Highway 70 Bypass around Goldsboro.

Gus Tulloss served on the North Carolina State Board of Transportation since 2008 representing District 4, which includes Wayne County.

Tulloss is now stepping down from the board.

Tuesday, the Wayne County Board of Commissioners passed a proclamation honoring the many transportation contributions Tulloss made to the community.

The commissioners praised Tulloss’s service to Wayne County.

Tulloss, a Rocky Mount native, noted that Wayne County and Goldsboro have been so successful with many of their projects due to its leadership.

The Goldsboro City Council also approved a similar proclamation honoring Tulloss’s service last month.
