This Oktoberfest wasn’t in Munich, it was in Moody, where the young and old enjoyed the festivities at Moody City Park.

Just wanted to share an update to the US HWY 411 and Kerr Rd. Project. As with any project there are always unforeseen challenges so I reached out to ALDOT this morning and they provided an update. Hopefully the end is near.

Mayor Rutledge,
Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your concerns regarding the project at US Hwy 411 and Kerr Road.
I understand the frustration surrounding the pace of work and the safety concerns being raised by your citizens. The contractor had planned to resume work this week; however, they expressed concerns that the incoming storm system this weekend could wash out any new work completed over the next few days. To avoid losing progress and resources, they have adjusted their schedule and now plan to begin work again next week.
They were on site this past Thursday to address necessary traffic control measures, and we will continue monitoring conditions to ensure safety remains prioritized.
I will keep you updated as additional information becomes available. Please let me know if you need anything further in the meantime.
Thank you,

Jonathan Johnson, P.E.
Local Transportation Engineer
Alabama Department of Transportation

For those of you that couldn’t make our 9/11 ceremony this morning,someone asked me if I’d share the speech I gave and also the attached moments that were captured. We will never forget.

Thank you all for gathering here today as we come together to remember the nearly 3,000 men, women, and children who tragically lost their lives on September 11, 2001, during the horrific terrorist attacks on our nation.

Among those lives lost were 441 first responders men and women who ran toward danger while others were running away. They answered the call to serve, protect, and save others, knowing the risks they faced.

As we gather today and remember the absolute horror and devastation of that day, let us also remember the incredible courage, sacrifice, and unity that followed.

Let us never forget those who were lost. Let us never forget the families who were forever changed. And let us never forget the first responders who gave everything they had in an effort to save others.

Most importantly, let us remember that freedom is never free.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”

Those words still ring true today. The freedoms we enjoy come with a responsibility to remember, to remain vigilant, and to never take for granted the sacrifices made to protect our way of life.

Today, we honor their memory. We honor their sacrifice. And we will never forget.

God bless those we lost, God bless their families, and God bless the United States of America.

Thank you Alabama League of Municipalities for putting together events such as this to keep our municipalities engaged and up to date.

Today, Mayor Nick Rutledge, Councilman Ellis Key, and Councilwoman Linda Crowe represented the City of Moody at the Alabama League of Municipalities 3rd Congressional District Luncheon in Opelika, joining Congressman Mike D. Rogers and municipal leaders from across the region.

Also pictured are ALM President and Riverside Mayor Rusty Jessup, Argo Mayor Randy Hettich, and Margaret Mayor Matt Tortorice.

Events like this matter. Building relationships at the congressional level opens doors for our city — and having Moody's leadership in the room ensures our community has a voice in conversations that shape the future of Alabama's municipalities.

Today I had the opportunity to spend some time with our officers as they trained for active shooter situations,something we all pray never happens.

Watching these men and women work to perfect their craft was truly inspiring. Their dedication, professionalism, and commitment to protecting our community are second to none. Observing them train to quickly locate the offender, protect our children, and secure the scene was both intense and reassuring.

I sincerely hope and pray they never have to put this training into action, but I’m grateful to know they are preparing for the worst so they can protect us at our best.

Great job today to the Moody Police Department and our friends from the St. Clair County Sheriff’s Department. Thank you all for your commitment, sacrifice, and service to our community.

Working alongside our neighbors for the betterment of us all.

Great representation from St. Clair County today!
The mayors of Argo, Moody, and Springville joined local leaders from across East Central Alabama for the ALDOT East Central Region Strategic Planning Session, helping shape priorities for Alabama's next Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

These discussions are an important opportunity for our communities to advocate for transportation investments that improve safety, strengthen connectivity, support economic development, and prepare our region for future growth.

We are grateful to our municipal leaders for taking the time to represent St. Clair County and to ALDOT for bringing together local governments and regional partners to ensure community voices help guide future transportation planning.

Working together today helps build a stronger, more connected tomorrow.
