Fairhope, Alabama
PIER AND SOUTH PARK AREA
The Governor's office announced that a list of "bucket one" funding requests from the Alabama Gulf Coast Recovery Council have been approved by the United States Treasury Department; Mayor Wilson is the city's current representative on the council.
Individual grants for projects listed there may now be submitted to the Treasury.
Wilson: "It is important for citizens to understand there are 5 buckets of money, two of which I'm a voting member. I secured 4 projects totaling $18MM and most of it is going to sewer rehabilitation and a study to prevent pollutants going into the bay."
The money came from environmental fines imposed due to the BP oil spill in 2010.
Fairhope has one project included, #14: $6.2 million for as yet unspecified 'waterfront and green space' improvements to the pier area and south beach park.
Phase 1 beginning next year will be development of conceptual and engineering plans.
