WASHINGTON - U.S. Representative Artur Davis (D-Birmingham) is scheduled to announce today the allocation of $400 thousand for the Selma Streetscape Project, a community revitalization effort that seeks to offer a grand site for recreation in downtown Selma along Historic Water Avenue.

This federal appropriation, secured with the passage of the Congressional Transportation Conference Report, will serve as a match for funds received by the City of Selma from the state of Alabama.  The overall project will include improvements for sidewalk reconstruction, underground utility service, and public/private business development.  Plans for these resources include placing underground power lines for the project.

“I am proud that our office is able to contribute to the continued growth and revitalization of the City of Selma, and we look forward to the completion of the Selma Streetscape Project,” Davis said.
