The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) was awarded a $13,747,500 Project Grant on January 23, 2025 under the Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council Oil Spill Impact Program (CFDA 87.052). The funding will be used for the "One Mobile: Reconnecting People, Work and Play Through Complete Streets" project, which will construct utility infrastructure improvements, roadway enhancements, and pedestrian upgrades along Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The project will include the installation of new sidewalks, bike lanes, on-street parking, stormwater drainage, utility relocations, and pedestrian safety features. This effort leverages an existing federal TIGER grant and local funding to comprehensively revitalize the corridor and improve connectivity for residents, workers, and visitors. The Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Council, established after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, is the primary funding agency for this grant program, which aims to restore and protect natural resources, ecosystems, and economies across the Gulf Coast region.
