Roads in Elmore County are getting resurfaced thanks to funds collected through Rebuild Alabama.
In fiscal year 2025, the Elmore County Commission has approved 15.61 miles of resurfacing and guardrail work spending about $2.5 million for the work. It is much more work than the county could do without the relatively new gas tax.
