EDWARDSVILLE – Park and recreation grants totaling more than $1.1 million were approved by the Madison County Board’s Grants Committee Monday for projects ranging from new and improved paths and trails to repayment of previous park loans.
Funding comes from the county’s portion of the park and recreation tax. In 2000 voters in Madison and St. Clair counties approved a 1/10th percent sales tax to fund recreation projects and create the Metro East Park and Recreation District. Half the money goes to the respective counties to be disbursed as grants, the rest to the MEPRD for its project, which also includes grants.

Federal maps show R. Clay Jackson’s beef cattle farm in rural Madison County, Virginia, is awash in broadband a designation that likely rules it out of President Joe Biden’s push to connect all Americans to fast internet service.
“The assessment is incorrect,” Jackson, owner of Senterfitt Farms and chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors, said in an interview. Local broadband is, in fact, sparse. “It puts us at a massive disadvantage as it pertains to applying.”

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) - The Madison County mask order will end with the state order on Friday, April 9. Officials with the Madison County Board of Health said they are hesitant to lift the order but said the science supports easing restrictions.
“We are now at a point where the numbers are flattening, we’re doing much better than we were,” said Dr. Sherrie Squyres, Chair of the Madison County Board of Health. “That said, we’re not out of danger.”
