Montgomery Whitewater Funding Debate | Birmingham News

Former Montgomery Mayor Todd Strange is rallying support for continued county funding of the Montgomery Whitewater park, calling it a vital community asset despite recent shutdowns due to financial concerns. While some commissioners push for an audit and criticize cost overruns and weak management, Strange argues the park’s value far outweighs its challenges — it’s already boosted quality of life and deserves more investment. He’s proposing $3 million in new funding plus a bold marketing push to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, aiming for financial sustainability. The county commission will vote on this critical funding decision next Tuesday as part of their 2027 budget. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
