Childersburg – The Childersburg Council approved Resolution 2026 – 16, which approved the agreement with ALDOT for a grant project to complete an unfinished access road inside the Childersburg Industrial Park from gravel to paved.
“We’ve been working on this project for quite a while now,” said Mayor Ken Wesson, “and this is an important step in providing for the road needs of expanding local industries.”
The $3.29 million road project was made possible thanks to an industrial access grant from ALDOT. Work is expected to begin in August to create access for current expansions of a pair of industries, Cooper Steel South and Blair Block/ SuperRock.
