Cam Ward recently handed out three grant checks to different areas in Bibb County.
The first was a $4,000 grant for West Blocton Little League Baseball which is working on the construction of new fields in West Blocton. Another was for $4,000 to West Blocton High School for construction of the new handicap accessible seating at WBHS football stadium.
Finally, he presented a $2,000 check to the Historic Ironworks Commission in Brierfield. The grant given to the HIC will be split between Tannehill and Brierfield Historic Ironworks Parks.
“The downturn in the State General Fund Budget has really taken its toll on these two historic treasures and I believe we must do everything we can and devote more state resources, not less, to these parks,” said Ward. “I hope this is the beginning of a long term increase in funding for both of the parks.” The grant for the parks will be used to assist their day-to-day operations
