Summary
The Autauga County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2026-43 committing a $108,000 county cash match, if awarded, for a FY2025 EDA Disaster Supplemental Grant to fund a comprehensive economic development analysis of the I‑65/US‑31 interchange and surrounding area.
The Autauga County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2026-43 on June 2, 2026, committing a $108,000 county cash match if the county is awarded a FY2025 Economic Development Administration (EDA) Disaster Supplemental Grant to fund a comprehensive economic development analysis of the I‑65/US‑31 interchange and surrounding area.
The motion to approve Resolution 2026-43 was made by Commissioner Bill Tatum and seconded by Commissioner John L. Thrailkill; the resolution passed by unanimous vote. The resolution states the county “commits to provide the required matching share of $108,000.00 toward the total project cost if awarded” and authorizes county officials to execute necessary documents to apply for and accept the funds and to carry out the resolution’s intent.
The study described in the resolution is framed as a comprehensive economic development analysis for the interchange and surrounding area. The commission’s action is a conditional commitment: the county will provide the match only if the EDA award is granted. The resolution was filed in the meeting record as Resolution 2026-43 and attested in the minutes.
No public comment, dissenting votes, or amendments were recorded in the minutes regarding the resolution. The county address listed in the minutes is 135 N. Court Street, Suite B, Prattville, Alabama.
