Jasper City adopts ordinance to accept $1.4 million ALDOT ATRIP grant for SR‑78 improvements
Summary
The Jasper City Council adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign an ALDOT ATRIP grant agreement awarding $1.4 million for improvements along SR‑78; the city will contribute $270,000 toward the project.
The Jasper City Council on a voice vote adopted an ordinance authorizing the mayor to sign a grant agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) for an ATRIP project that awarded the city $1.4 million for improvements along State Route 78.
Cathy Chambers, city staff member, told the council the ATRIP project awarded the City of Jasper $1.4 million and that the city will contribute $270,000 for improvements between Fernway Drive and Wastonbridge Road to improve access to local businesses. The council then voted to adopt the ordinance.
The item was added to the agenda as an amendment earlier in the meeting when Chambers asked the council to consider approval for the mayor to sign the ALDOT grant agreement for the SR‑78 project. No additional conditions or amendments to the ordinance were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The council did not specify a timeline for construction or identify any required outside approvals beyond execution of the grant agreement. The meeting record does not list roll-call vote counts or individual member votes; the action was adopted after the motion and a second and an affirmative voice vote.
Council members were not recorded asking for further technical details such as right-of-way impacts, construction schedule, or specific contractors during the ordinance adoption item. The item will proceed under the grant terms once the mayor signs the agreement.
The council moved on to subsequent agenda items after adoption of the ordinance.
