BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Commission action/date: N/A
Background: GOMESA refers to Federal funds received related to the Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act of 2006. The 25 dirt roads that the County Engineer is requesting to pave were reviewed during FY 19 budget deliberations. Paving the identified roads will help reduce environmental impacts of sediment and siltation to adjacent properties as well as reduce overall maintenance costs.
There are currently 189.38 miles of dirt roads maintained by the Baldwin County Highway Department. Paving these roads will reduce the dirt road mileage by 8.93 miles and provide paved roads for 226 households.
