Summary
Council authorized submission of a program-year 2025 Community Development Block Grant application to the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs requesting $500,000 to address street and sewer lines in the College Heights area and committed a $204,235 local match if funded.
The Prattville City Council voted July 1 to authorize submission of a program-year 2025 Community Development Block Grant application to the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) seeking $500,000 for street and sewer improvements in the College Heights area.
Councilor Jackson introduced the resolution and the motion; after a second the council adopted the measure by voice vote. The city’s resolution commits a local match of $204,235 if ADECA funds the project, and it affirms the city will be responsible for long-term operation and maintenance costs if the project proceeds.
The resolution cites a public hearing held May 27, 2025, that identified high concentrations of low-to-moderate-income residents and infrastructure needs in College Heights; the project scope described to ADECA focuses on replacing or repairing sewer lines and improving street conditions where those needs are concentrated.
Next steps: With council authorization the mayor is empowered to submit the application to ADECA and to execute documents required to pursue the grant. If ADECA awards the funds, city staff will need to finalize project engineering, procure contractors consistent with state procurement rules, and ensure the local match is budgeted.
