COVID relief bill to fund painting downtown water tank

The newest COVID stimulus package carried a $1.9 trillion price tag. Not only did the latest relief bill aim to aid individuals and families that may be struggling during these uncertain times, but it also includes funding for municipalities like the City of Tallassee, which should soon receive well over $800,000 from the latest stimulus package.

 "Out of that money, the City of Tallassee is going to receive a little over 834,000. This money is meant for cities and towns that suffered during COVID with their budget, but the City of Tallassee is an exception. We navigated the pandemic waters intelligently," Mayor John Hammock said.
