Wetumpka council approves CDBG application for Mill Village sewer improvements
Summary
The council voted to authorize submission of a 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to ADECA for sanitary sewer improvements in the Mill Village, partnering with the local water and sewer board to pursue the grant.
The Wetumpka City Council on July 21, 2025, authorized staff to submit a 2025 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application to the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) seeking funds for sanitary sewer improvements in the Mill Village.
Council members said the city is partnering with the local water and sewer board on the application; the board is the entity that will receive the grant if awarded, while the city is a partner in the application. The mayor stated that the city is not committing municipal funds to the project as part of this application.
Why this matters: CDBG funding can be used for infrastructure improvements in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Sanitary sewer improvements in the Mill Village could address public-health and infrastructure concerns if the grant is awarded.
Council action: the resolution (2025-7-21-1) authorizing submission of the CDBG application was presented and approved by motion and voice vote. City staff and council discussed the partnership with the water and sewer board and noted ADECA as the grant administrator.
Ending: Staff will complete and submit the application to ADECA; award decisions and any local matching or contract obligations would occur only if the grant is awarded.
