Flomaton to use the funds for road work
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey announced that the town of Flomaton has been awarded a $250,000 grant for resurfacing and draining improvements on four roads.
The grant funds are coming from the Rebuild Alabama Act the Legislature established after raising the gasoline tax in Alabama. The Legislature has earmarked $10 million from the state’s allocation to help fund local road projects across the state. Gov. Ivey announced last week that more than $3.6 million in Rebuild Alabama Act funds were granted to cities and counties across the state.
Jeremy McMath with the engineering firm Civil Southeast prepared the grant and will also administer the grant for the paving projects that include Hillview Drive, Titi Street, Alley 5 and a portion of College Street.
The total estimated cost of the Flomaton projects is $285,000. The town will be responsible for a $35,000 match.
Flomaton Mayor Dewey Bondurant, Jr., said Gov. Ivey’s announcement was great news for Flomaton.
“We’ve been working on this for about three years,” Mayor Bondurant said. “The governor finally approved it.”
No time table has been set as to when the work will begin or completed.
