Athens approves $725,000 purchase of 806–808 South Clinton for Highway 72 intersection improvements
Summary
The council authorized buying two parcels on South Clinton Street for $725,000 to support an intersection improvement project coordinated with ALDOT.
The Athens City Council on May 19 approved a resolution authorizing purchase of property at 806 and 808 South Clinton Street for $725,000 to be used in coordination with the Alabama Department of Transportation on intersection improvements at South Clinton and Highway 72.
Councilmembers and staff said the parcels are needed for roadway work in coordination with ALDOT and that the mayor was authorized to complete the purchase. The resolution passed unanimously after the council suspended rules to consider the item as an add‑on.
What’s next: The city will complete the purchase and coordinate design and right‑of‑way needs with ALDOT; staff will return with any necessary construction contracts and appropriation requests.
