Houston County schedules two resurfacing contracts totaling about $1.13 million in state and federal funds
Summary
The county outlined two resurfacing contracts: County Road 203 (estimated $717,967 total; county share ~$143,593) and Country Garden Road (estimated $413,005 total; county share ~$82,708). Both use federal/state programs (MPO/ALDOT) and will be placed on Monday's agenda.
Houston County staff briefed commissioners on two road resurfacing projects that county staff said will be included on the commission's Monday agenda.
County Road 203: Staff described a construction agreement routed through the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) as an 80/20 federally funded project. The Chair stated the total cost as $717,966.78, with state/federal funding of about $574,373.42 and a county share of approximately $143,593.36. Staff said work should begin in September.
Country Garden Road: Staff said the county will enter a construction agreement with the Alabama Department of Transportation to resurface Country Garden Road up to the Henry County line. The Chair reported a total cost of $413,005.39, with the state covering roughly $330,008.31 and the county responsible for about $82,707.89.
Both projects were described as proceeding through established state and federal funding channels; commissioners raised no objections to placing the agreements on Monday's agenda for formal approval.
Why it matters: The projects combine federal and county funds to address county road conditions; they obligate county matching funds and set construction timelines.
Next steps: Each construction agreement will be presented for formal action at the commission's Monday meeting.
