Montgomery County Commission reviews resolution to resurface 5.7-mile Butler Mill Road using MPO funds
Summary
The county engineer asked the Montgomery County Commission to approve Resolution MCP 51-04-26 to resurface 5.7 miles of Butler Mill Road; the memo says ALDOT requires the resolution to proceed with 80% federal MPO funding and a 20% county gas-tax match.
At its Feb. 10, 2026 formal session, the Montgomery County Commission considered a resolution authorizing resurfacing of Butler Mill Road (CR-23), a 5.7-mile stretch from Liberty Church/West Old Hayneville Road (CR-24) north to the CSX Railroad right-of-way. The request was submitted in a memo from George Speake, County Engineer.
Speake wrote that the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) requires the County's resolution to allow the project to proceed using Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) funds. "Funding for this project will be 80% Federal (MPO) funds and 20% County (gasoline tax) matching funds," Speake wrote in the memo attached to the resolution.
The resolution, filed as Project No. MCP 51-04-26, directs work to widen, level, resurface and traffic-stripe Butler Mill Road (CR-23) for the described segment and affirms the county's agreement to the state-administered preliminary engineering and construction provisions associated with the project. The packet references link-node and location maps as attachments and asks that two copies with original signatures be returned to the Engineering Department if approved.
The resolution document includes a signature block listing Chairman Carmen Moore-Zeigler, Vice Chairman Harris, Jr., Member Justin M. Castanza and Member Sankey; the transcript of the packet does not record a formal motion, vote or the item's final disposition. The memo recommends the Commission approve the attached resolution; any formal adoption, vote tally or subsequent contract actions were not specified in the provided record.
If approved following the Commission's procedure and any required ALDOT steps, the resurfacing would proceed using the stated MPO and county funding split; the next administrative step in the packet is return of signed copies to the Engineering Department.
