County receives sealed bids for Fox project road tied to ALDOT industrial-access grant
Summary
Limestone County reported four sealed bids for the Fox project at Pryor Field, an ALDOT industrial-access grant project intended to provide access for new industrial facilities. County engineer Mark Massey said the road will serve new job creators; he estimated about 200 jobs but said he could not recall the exact number.
Limestone County officials reported four sealed bids for a road project tied to an Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) industrial-access grant at Pryor Field, a project described as supporting new industrial development at the Fox project site.
Mark Massey, the county engineer, told commissioners the road will provide access to facilities being built as part of a multi-jurisdictional industrial development. He said he could not recall the precise jobs estimate but believed the project would enable roughly "around 200 jobs." Massey emphasized the grant was an ALDOT industrial-access award intended to serve job creators building at the site.
Commissioners noted the bids were "extremely close and extremely competitive." The transcript did not record an award or contract approval; county staff presented the bid results and discussed next steps.
The chairman and staff also clarified that ADECA funds were connected to a related sewer project; the road bid itself is tied to the ALDOT industrial-access grant and the county expects the roadway to provide direct access to the new facilities once a contractor is selected and work proceeds.
No final contracting decision was recorded at the work session.
