The Greenville City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-41 on May 28, 2026, authorizing the city to apply to the Alabama Department of Transportation for FY 2027 Transportation Alternatives Set-Aside Program (TAP) funds to support sidewalk improvements.
Mayor Jae’Ques Brown explained that the application requests $781,650.40 in TAP funds toward a total project cost of $992,063.00 and that the city will provide the required local match of $210,412.60.
