Mobile AL’s Wish List for 2009 City Improvements

Mobile Alabama officials are looking into what additions the city could benefit from in the coming year.  Like a wish list, local government officials are making a list of improvements for the city to be discussed by the federal government in the proposed stimulus plan.  The list includes an environmentally friendly power plant, improvements to infrastructure (e.g. bridges and highways), and renovations to schools.  Total expenses for these plans are estimated at $1.16 billion.

The Press Register indicated that it is most likely that only the projects that are either underway, have begun construction already, or only need some funding to get underway, will be given funds.  The Alabama Power Co. wants to start converting coal powered plants into ones that burn biomass (e.g. wood chips and switchgrass), with the Barry Steam Plant in North Mobile County being considered currently for this conversion.
