Montgomery City Council prioritizes infrastructure improvements by approving two significant projects at its Jan. 14 meeting.
With two significant projects agreed at its Jan. 14 meeting, Montgomery City Council is prioritizing infrastructure upgrades.
The Montgomery City Council approved two major infrastructure improvement projects. American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding would be used for the enhancements. The projects under discussion at the Jan. 14 meeting center are increasing water capacity at Water Plant No. 3 and drainage along College Street.
The College Street drainage improvement project, which is expected to cost between $250,000 and $337,000, will replace three 18-inch concrete culverts and repair a damaged section of the road. City officials claim these enhancements solve long-standing drainage problems and improve road safety.
A fourth booster pump at Water Plant No. 3 will concurrently improve the plant's water capacity. Funded at $125,000, this project is vital in helping the city meet its rising water consumption.
Both projects are funded with residual ARPA money, reflecting the city's dedication to maximizing federal funding for local infrastructure needs.
City officials underlined the significance of these initiatives in helping Montgomery expand and fix aged infrastructure. As upgrades are in progress, neighbors could soon expect better drainage and water dependability.
