The Selma City Council is looking at what it takes to enhance tourism and entertainment in the Queen City. The council is applying for a $500,000 grant to create an Innovative Tourism Hub on Water Avenue. The city must match almost $57,000 to cover personnel, equipment and advertising for the project. The grant includes a $115,000 electric trolley, a $38,000 pedal bus and four pedal taxies that will cost $20,000 each. Twelve employees will be required to run the center and operate the vehicles. Todd and Cindy talk about it in this segment of the Black Belt Newscast.
