Tallapoosa County expects to receive an additional $531,000 in Rebuild Alabama funds in 2020 and county engineer David Moore said he advocates spending it on repaving and preservation while waiting to repair and replace bridges another year.
Moore said he will present his list of projects for consideration by the Tallapoosa County Commission at its Aug. 12 meeting.
