Jefferson County Manager Tony Petelos said Wednesday that “significant progress” has been made in the county projects that are part of Gov. Robert Bentley’s Alabama Transportation Rehabilitation and Improvement Program.

Five projects in Trussville are on the ATRIP funding list. They include:

“We want everyone in Jefferson County to understand the profound impact of ATRIP on our area and on your ability to get to school and work,” Petelos said. “These improvements will immediately benefit our citizens and our economy, and I’d like to personally thank Gov. Robert Bentley for this wise investment in our local transportation system.”
Clay Mayor Charles Webster was on hand for the announcement at the Jefferson County Courthouse on Wednesday.
