Montgomery County approves resurfacing of Mitchell Young Road with 80% MPO funding
Summary
The Montgomery County Commission on Dec. 2 approved a resolution to resurface 3.7 miles of Mitchell Young Road (SR‑8/US‑80 to Old Selma Road), using 80% federal MPO funds and a 20% county gasoline‑tax match; the measure passed unanimously.
The Montgomery County Commission voted Dec. 2 to authorize resurfacing Mitchell Young Road from SR‑8 (US‑80) north 3.7 miles to Old Selma Road (CR‑54). County Engineer George Speake supplied a staff memo recommending adoption to enable the project to proceed through the Alabama Department of Transportation using Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) funding.
The resolution, moved by Commissioner Daniel Harris and seconded by Vice Chairman Carmen Moore‑Zeigler, passed unanimously. The agenda memo states funding will be 80% federal (MPO) funds and 20% county funds drawn from the gasoline‑tax match.
The county memo identifies the project as MCP 51‑03‑26 and asks that two signed copies of the resolution be returned to the Engineering Department if approved. The commission did not record additional debate or amendments to the resolution during the formal session.
The project will require ALDOT coordination before construction proceeds; the commission packet did not specify an expected construction schedule or estimated construction cost.
