Black Belt counties benefit from $3.7 million grant for road projects

Bullock, Choctaw, Crenshaw, Hale and Marengo counties are included in a new round of $3.7 million in state funding for road projects. 

This round will be the final one this year under the Alabama Department of Transportation’s (ALDOT) Annual Grant Program created by the Rebuild Alabama Act.

“Supporting all Alabama citizens for generations to come has always my mission. From our students’ education to the state’s infrastructure, Alabama continues to make strides for future generations of Alabamians,” said Governor Kay Ivey.

“Through the Rebuild Alabama Act, we are delivering on that promise to make meaningful investments in local roads and bridges across the state. I am proud to say that Alabama is keeping our commitment to safer, stronger and more connected communities.”
