At its regular meeting, the St. Clair County Commission approved a series of routine business items, including a 10% local match for an ALDOT safety project, multiple contract awards and subscriptions for law enforcement technology.
The commission approved participation in an ALDOT safety project for work on Kelly Creek Road, accepting a total project cost of $835,396.80 and the county’s responsibility for the 10% local match.
