The primary issues for municipalities, including broadband and waste infrastructure, were addressed in meaningful ways during this previous legislative session, according to the executive director of the Alabama League of Municipalities, Greg Cochran.

In January, Alabama directed a total of $771.9 million in federal American Rescue Act funds towards broadband infrastructure, sewage and water treatment, and funds for health care providers statewide during this year’s special session on ARPA fund disbursement. Additionally, these federal funds also went towards telehealth, volunteer fire departments, assisted living facilities, and Alabama’s unemployment compensation trust fund.

The second infusion of aid funds is scheduled for this summer, with its use likely to fall along similar infrastructural lines.
