+ Key Dates This Week
August 30 is the deadline to submit grant applications for the first round of awards through the ATRIP-II program, a road and bridge program established as part of the Rebuild Alabama Act passed in March of this year. The ATRIP-II program is anticipated to provide $30 million in grants this year, with each individual project limited to a $2 million award. To view the program’s procedural guidelines, click here, and for an application, click here. For more information on ATRIP-II, view the program’s website — and be sure to join us this month at the ACCA 91st Convention.
*Note: The ATRIP-II application deadline is August 30. An Association email sent last week identified an incorrect date. Please update your calendars to reflect the correct August 30 deadline.
