Governor Kay Ivey today announced more than $3.7 million in state funding is being awarded to cities and counties for 12 road projects across Alabama, highlighting her ongoing commitment to enhancing Alabama’s infrastructure.
The grants are the second round of funding made available this year under the Alabama Department of Transportation’s Annual Grant Program created by the Rebuild Alabama Act. The Rebuild Alabama Act, overwhelmingly passed by the Legislature and signed by Governor Ivey in 2019, requires ALDOT to establish an annual program setting aside a minimum of $10 million off the top of the state’s share of gas tax revenue for local projects. Additional funding will be awarded later this year.
“Rebuild Alabama is doing exactly what we promised – fixing roads and bridges in every corner of our state,” said Governor Ivey. “With every round of funding, we’re seeing real improvements along our busiest highways and the local roads Alabamians rely on every day. This is a smart, long-term investment at work, and Alabama is better for it.”
Of the awarded projects, cities and counties also contributed more than $3.5 million in local matching funds. All projects are required to move forward within one year of the awarding of funds.
Since the passage of the Rebuild Alabama Act, ALDOT’s Annual Grant Program has awarded more than $66 million in state transportation funding for local projects.
