New polling place for Millbrook municipal elections

When Millbrook voters cast ballots in elections for mayor and city council in August, they will be at 17 Springs.

The move was approved by the Millbrook City Council at Tuesday’s meeting. 

“It means everyone will vote in the same place,” Mayor Al Kelley said. “All residents will come to 17 Springs to cast a ballot in municipal elections.”

Municipal elections will be conducted this year on Aug. 26

In other business, the council authorized spending up to $22,500 with Dalhoff Thomas Design through a professional services contract. The contract will aid in creating a design plan along the creek across the street from Village Green and behind Big Mike’s Steakhouse on Main Street.

The council also approved a donation of $25,000 to Elmore County Schools to aid in the construction of an obstacle course and climbing tower at Stanhope Elmore High School. The project hopes to attract JROTC teams to competitions, which would in turn fill hotels and restaurants.
