DICKSON COUNTY TO RECEIVE $3 MILLION FOR BRIDGE REPLACEMENTS THROUGH FEDERAL DISASTER RELIEF

At the September 15th Dickson County Commission work session, county leaders announced that Dickson County will receive $3 million in federal disaster relief funds through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), set aside for communities impacted by the 2021 floods.

The grant, which requires no local match, comes from FEMA allocations that identified Dickson County as eligible for special disaster-related funding. County Economic Development Officer Terry Malone presented the details, explaining that the funds will be used to replace two bridges: the East Piney Road Bridge and the Woods Valley Road Bridge.

“These funds are non-matching, which means the county will not be required to provide additional money to receive the grant,” Malone said. “It’s essentially $3 million directly to Dickson County to address critical infrastructure damaged or compromised by the floods.”

Mayor Bob Rial clarified that while the money comes from federal taxpayers, it is still a rare opportunity for the county to tackle expensive projects without local tax dollars. “It’s not free money because taxpayers paid for it,” Rial said, “but there’s no match required from our county budget, which makes this a significant win for us.”

Commissioners voted to move the resolution to the regular September session, where it will be formally accepted. Once approved, the county can begin the process of planning and contracting for the bridge replacements.

The 2021 floods were among the most damaging natural disasters to strike Middle Tennessee in recent years, causing widespread infrastructure damage in Dickson and surrounding counties. Federal relief funds have been slow to materialize, making the $3 million allocation especially significant for local residents who rely on rural bridges for daily transportation.

“This is one of those moments where federal disaster relief is working the way it’s supposed to,” Malone said. “It allows us to rebuild smarter and safer without adding financial strain on Dickson County taxpayers.”
