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.
