Improvements in the works at Kowaliga boat ramp

The Elmore County Commission approved spending $500,000 at the Kowaliga boat ramp as part of its Quality of Life projects across the county.

It joins projects such as 17 Springs, new turf field at school campuses, a new recreation center in Tallassee, a climbing tower in Millbrook and improvements at Cooters Pond boat ramp on the Alabama River. To make those projects possible the county has partnered with public and private entities. At Kowaliga, the county is partnering with Russell Lands, the Elmore County Economic Development Authority, the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Alabama Department of Transportation for a project to improve access and parking and create more boat ramps.
