Autauga County pledges 20% match for EDA grant to study I-65/US-31 interchange
Summary
The Autauga County Commission voted unanimously Feb. 3 to commit a 20% local match for an FY2025 EDA Disaster Supplemental Grant that would fund a comprehensive economic development analysis of the I-65/US-31 interchange and surrounding area.
The Autauga County Commission unanimously approved Resolution No. 2026-12 on Feb. 3, committing the county to provide a 20% local match if awarded an FY2025 Economic Development Administration (EDA) Disaster Supplemental Grant to fund a comprehensive economic-development analysis of the I-65/US-31 interchange and the surrounding area.
The resolution, added to the agenda by suspension of the rules and approved without recorded dissent, authorizes the county administrator to execute documents necessary to carry out the match commitment. The grant application, if successful, would fund an analysis intended to support planning and economic development around the interstate interchange.
The resolution does not specify the total project cost; it records only the county’s commitment to provide the required 20% matching share if the EDA awards the grant. The minutes show the vote was unanimous but do not record a formal roll-call tally of individual votes.
Next steps identified in the minutes: the administrator is authorized to execute necessary grant paperwork if the award is made. There was no additional discussion in the minutes about schedule, consultant selection, or the dollar value of the county match; those details were not specified in the record.
