What This Bill Does

If passed, it formally supports Jefferson County's request for a $72 million INFRA grant to build the first 1.9-mile segment of the Northern Beltline. It states this will be Alabama's only INFRA application in 2020 and that the project is part of the Appalachian Development Highway System. It designates Jefferson County as the lead sponsor and says ALDOT, with local leaders, will handle design, bidding, construction, inspection, and maintenance, while noting expected benefits like jobs, economic growth, safety improvements, and less traffic congestion.
