Ripley receives DRA grant

The city of Ripley has been awarded $850,000 from the Delta Regional Authority (DRA) through the DRA’s Supplemental Disaster Recovery Funding (SDRF) program. The funds will be used to replace two lift stations damaged by the flooding of Beaty Creek in March 2023. The project will also make provisions for modern equipment that will enhance system reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and improve resiliency. Ripley was one of five communities in Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee that received a share in $10 million awarded through the program.
