Autauga County commits 20% match for EDA disaster grant to study I-65/US-31 interchange
Summary
The Autauga County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2026-12, committing a 20% county match to an FY2025 EDA Disaster Supplemental Grant application to fund a comprehensive economic development analysis of the I-65/US-31 interchange and surrounding area.
The Autauga County Commission unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2026-12 on Feb. 3, committing the county to provide a 20% matching share if an FY2025 Economic Development Administration (EDA) Disaster Supplemental Grant is awarded for a comprehensive economic development analysis of the I-65/US-31 interchange and surrounding area.
The resolution tasks the county administrator with executing necessary documents to carry out the intent of the grant application if the award is made. The record describes the project as an interchange and surrounding-area comprehensive economic development analysis; the resolution requires the county to provide a 20% match of the total project cost if the grant is awarded.
Commissioner Rusty Jacksland moved to add the resolution to the agenda and to approve it; Commissioner Terry Tanner seconded both motions. Both carried by unanimous vote of the Commission. The resolution commits county funds to the local match obligation but does not itself obligate funds until and unless the EDA award is finalized.
If awarded, the grant would be subject to any federal or state requirements tied to EDA funding and the commission’s 20% match commitment. The commission did not provide a dollar estimate for the total project cost in the meeting record.
