July 2022 Group Watch: New Round of Rebuild Alabama Projects Selected
Governor Kay Ivey announced more than $2 million in state funding is being awarded to cities and counties for various road and bridge projects. The funding is made available through the Annual Grant Program, a program created under the Rebuild Alabama Act.
