Summary
City Engineer Tim Parker was authorized to submit Transportation Alternatives grant applications for the Williams Road sidewalk and pedestrian bridge; the board adopted a resolution committing a 20% local match and a resolution certifying no known legal impediments to the project.
The Florence board on Sept. 16 authorized City Engineer Tim Parker to submit applications to the Central Mississippi Planning & Development District and to the Mississippi Department of Transportation Alternate Projects program for a Williams Road sidewalk and pedestrian bridge project.
The board also adopted a resolution agreeing to provide a 20% local match if the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) project is selected, and separately adopted a resolution certifying that no known legal impediments exist to completing the MDOT TAP project in Florence. The motions carried with recorded Aye votes from Aldermen John Banks, Brian Grantham, Mason Herrin, Kyle Martin and Brent Sistrunk.
The minutes do not list the total estimated project cost or the dollar amount of the 20% match; the board record notes only the commitment to provide the match if the TAP project is selected. Tim Parker was directed to proceed with application submittals; the minutes do not record additional conditions or a specified timeline for local match funding.
Next steps: The applications will be reviewed by the planning district and MDOT; if selected, the city will be responsible for the local match and must satisfy any program requirements documented by MDOT.
