Shelby County joins joint Bridge Investment Program planning study, limits local share
Summary
The commission approved participation in a joint planning study using Bridge Investment Program funds and agreed Shelby County's local share will not exceed $5,000 without further approval; the planning grant awarded $256,000 requires a $64,000 local match split across participating counties.
The Shelby County Commission voted June 8 to participate in a joint Bridge Investment Program (BIP) planning study and to contribute a portion of the required local match for a $256,000 planning grant awarded to the joint applicants.
Resolution 2026-06-08-10 states the county previously elected to participate in a joint application (lead applicant Lauderdale County) and that the planning grant award totals $256,000 with a $64,000 local match. The minutes record that Shelby County's share of the local match increased from $1,212 to $1,290 because the number of participating counties fell from 33 to 31. The resolution specifies the county's share "shall not exceed $5,000 without the approval of the Shelby County Commission." Commissioner Elwyn Bearden moved approval; Commissioner Josh Sisk seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The resolution identifies the CR-51 Bridge over Yellowleaf Creek (BIN 14984) as the county asset proposed for inclusion in a future Bridge Project Grant application. The minutes also state the county will use technical assistance from AECOM of Birmingham to complete the planning study and prepare any subsequent project application.
