Summary
Cullman County authorized submission of a Rebuild Alabama grant application to resurface County Road 719 (Chicken Plant/Goldenrod). The total project cost is $902,432; the grant request is $350,000 and requires a $100,000 minimum match, leaving a county portion of $552,432 as presented by the county engineer.
The Cullman County Commission authorized the chairman to sign documents to submit a Rebuild Alabama grant application to resurface County Road 719 (also referenced as Chicken Plant Road/Goldenrod).
County Engineer Phil Wagner (presenting) said the road has been discussed for years and needs attention. He told the commission the total project estimate is $902,432; the grant sought is $350,000 (Rebuild Alabama); the grant program requires a $100,000 match and the county's remaining share would be $552,432 under current estimates.
Wagner said the project length is approximately 2.5 miles. The resolution authorizes the chairman to sign all grant-related documents so the county may seek the annual Rebuild Alabama funding that opens each January.
Ending: Commissioners approved the submission and authorized the chairman to sign the related documents. Staff noted the county must provide the matching funds if the grant is awarded and will report cost details back to the commission.
