The North Central Alabama Regional Council of Governments announced Wednesday Hulaco has been awarded a $74,944 grant from the federal Pre-Disaster Mitigation program to help pay for the shelter.
The shelter will be erected at the Tri-County Volunteer Fire Department on Alabama 67. Ray Long, county commission chairman, said the fire department is responsible for a portion of the construction cost.
