The Florence Board of Aldermen on Sept. 16 authorized City Engineer Tim Parker to submit applications for the Williams Road Sidewalk and Pedestrian Bridge project to the Central Mississippi Planning & Development District and to the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s Alternative Project program. The board also adopted a resolution committing a 20% local match if the Transportation Alternatives project is selected.
Both motions were approved unanimously. The board additionally adopted a resolution certifying that there are no known legal impediments to completing an MDOT Transportation Alternatives Program project in Florence. The minutes do not specify the estimated project cost or the proposed local match dollar amount; the resolution commits the city to provide 20 percent of the project cost if selected.
The actions place the project in competitive consideration for state and regional transportation funding; the next steps are submission and, if selected, project agreement execution and construction planning.
