Washington, D.C. —Today, Congressman Robert Aderholt (AL-04) announced a major infrastructure investment from the U.S. Department of Commerce into the city of Sheffield in Colbert County.
“The United States Department of Commerce informed me today that the Economic Development Administration will be investing $4,372,355 to improve the sewer infrastructure in Sheffield. My office and I worked with the city of Sheffield to help secure this investment, and I was glad to do so.
