HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - How would you spend $72 million? That’s what members of the Madison County commission are currently debating.
The money is from the federal government as a result of the coronavirus relief bill.
The county will receive $36 million this year and $36 million next year. It sounds like a lot of money, but commissioners say there are also a lot of needs.
“We see growth throughout the county in Huntsville and unincorporated areas. We know we have travel problems and we need to address those with safer roads to cut down on travel times,” said Commissioner Craig Hill.
