Has Alpharetta Picked Your Street for Milling & Resurfacing?

The city must submit an application to receive $419,800 of motor fuel tax money from the GA Department of Transportation.

Alpharetta plans to spend little more than half a million dollars on maintenance of local roads in the city, according to a grant proposal being presented at Monday night's City Council meeting.

The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) allocated $419,800 to the city through its fiscal year 2013 Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant program. The city has to match the grant by 30 percent of the total, or $125,940. That match is in the Engineering/Public Works budget, which means Alpharetta should have $545,740 to spend on the roads.

Alpharetta Grants Administrator Amanda Day will make the recommendation. Funds have been allocated, but the city must submit its application to receive those funds.
