Following her announcement on Oct. 16, Rep. Terri Sewell (AL-07) has presented checks from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support several projects in Selma related to the schools, infrastructure and Craig Field. 

Selma City Schools was given $1.7 million to add five "clean" school buses to the fleet. 

Afterwards, Sewell and Selma city officials gathered at 1303 Selma Avenue where it was announced that more than 800 lead service lines would be replaced to improve drinking water quality. 

And finally, Sewell presented $556,000 to Craig Field Airport and Industrial Authority to clean up environmental hazards at the former gym complex. 

Funding for all of the projects was secured from the Biden-Harris Infrastructure Law.
