Black Belt counties included in $40 million ATRIP-II funding round

$40 million was recently awarded by the state for road improvement projects throughout the state, including Black Belt Counties. 

The funding was made available by the Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program-II (ATRIP-II) established by the Rebuild Alabama Act. Gov. Kay Ivey called the round the largest since the act was passed. 

“I am proud to announce the largest round of local funding since the passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act as I close out my first term and gear up to begin the next four years,” she said in an announcement on Jan. 12.

“Our decision to address Alabama’s infrastructure challenges is paying major dividends in several vital areas, and I am thrilled to continue building on this momentum by moving forward this year’s projects.”
