Alabama Industrial Access Road Grant
The Alabama Industrial Access Road & Bridge Corporation was created through
legislation in May, 1985, and provides funding for industrial access road and
bridge construction in Alabama. The Department of Transportation (DOT)
administers this program, and reviews each application to insure economic
viability of projects. The results of both reviews are presented to the
Industrial Access Bond Authority for consideration. The corporation members
include the DOT Director, the State Treasurer, and the State Finance Director.
The Industrial Access road and Bridge program provides financial assistance
for new and/or expanding industries. When a project is being developed and
proposed, the following should be considered:
 | The Industrial Access program provides financing for industrial access
onto (a) specific site (s) and not for speculative development. |
 | Eligible industrial access projects may be new road construction or a road
improvement to assist the new or expanding industry (example: turn-lane,
deceleration lane, pave unimproved road, widening, etc.). |
 | A local sponsor is required for an Industrial Access Project (typically
this will be the local city/county government or industrial development
board). This local sponsor is responsible for any project costs above approved
Industrial Access Road Funding. |
 | The proposed road project must be a public right-of-way and, if funded,
shall constitute part of the public highway and street system of the state.
|
 | The local sponsor is required to complete a questionnaire and forward
three copies to the Department of Transportation. Industrial Access projects
shall be let under the supervision of the Department of Transportation. |
