More new sidewalks are coming to Poarch after the Escambia County Commission accepted a $435,472 grant on behalf of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians.
County Clerk-Administrator Tony Sanks told commissioners Monday that Poarch will provide the matching funds on the grant and the county will have no costs involved in the sidewalks. The federal money comes from the Transportation Alternative Program which is administered through the Alabama Department of Transportation. This is the second phase of the sidewalk program in Poarch, which includes Lynn McGhee Drive and Buford L. Rolin Drive.
Triptek Construction of Atmore submitted the low bid for the project.
