On Tuesday, February 4, 2025, the Baldwin County Commission voted to approve key measures to advance the progress of a segment of the Baldwin Beach Express II project from Interstate 10 to Styx River.

The Baldwin County Commission took the following actions:

• Approved the allocation of $4,000,000.00 from Capital Project Fund to Baldwin Beach Express II Right-of-Way Acquisition
  

• Approved on-call consultant Volkert, Inc., to perform Right-of-Way Acquisition services for the Baldwin Beach Express II Project from Interstate 10 to Styx River with fees not to exceed $282,000.00
  

In previous years, the Baldwin County Commission has taken action to develop construction plans for the full 25-mile corridor between Interstate 10 and Interstate 65 as well as securing all environmental permitting for the corridor. Tuesday’s action authorizing the start of right-of-way acquisition is the next step in the process and will be conducted in a phased approach.
