MONTGOMERY — Gov. Kay Ivey announced Wednesday that more than $5.1 million in state funding is being awarded to cities and counties for various road and bridge projects.
Projects in Level Plains in Dale County and New Brockton in Coffee County are among 21 projects throughout the state included in the announcement.
The funding is made available through the Annual Grant Program, a program created under the Rebuild Alabama Act. The Rebuild Alabama Act, overwhelmingly passed by the Legislature and signed by Ivey in 2019, requires the Alabama Department of Transportation to establish an annual program setting aside $10 million off the top of the state’s share of new gas tax revenue for local projects.
Of the awarded projects, cities and counties also contributed a total of over $2.9 million in local matching funds. Matching funds are not required to be eligible. It is anticipated that a number of projects will be under contract by the end of this year. All projects are required to move forward within one year of the awarding of funds.
