The 30 Cubed Program encourages voluntary partnerships with any municipality across Baldwin

County, offering funding and support for roadway enhancements that align with regional

transportation goals relating to capacity and connectivity improvements. By focusing on

cooperative planning and resource sharing, 30 Cubed not only addresses current traffic demands

but also prepares the region for future growth.

The Baldwin County Commission and the Town of Magnolia Springs are excited to announce

they have entered into an Intergovernmental Roadway Construction Agreement to construct

approximately 2,600 feet of roadway and pedestrian improvements on County Road 49 from

U.S. Route 98 to Magnolia River.

The County Road 49 project will be the third project of the Baldwin County Commission’s 30

Cubed Program which is aimed at fostering collaboration with municipalities across the county

to enhance the capacity and connectivity of our roadway system.

“This project has been on our Comprehensive Plan year after year, but we had no way to fund it

until the County Commission came to us with this new program,” said Mayor Ross Houser.

The County Road 49 Roadway and Pedestrian Improvements project will enhance roadway

capacity and pedestrian safety through a combination of access management and a multi-use trail.

A continuous landscape median that will convert to turn lanes at roadway intersections

encouraging slower driving speeds while still improving roadway capacity. The existing concrete

sidewalk will be replaced with a wider, multi-use path that will be located farther from the travel

lane.

The total estimated cost of the project is $4,200,000.00 with the Town of Magnolia Springs

funding $2,100,000.00 and the County funding the remaining $2,100,000.00. Eligible project

costs include right-of-way acquisition, design, permitting, construction and construction

engineering and inspection.

As Baldwin County continues to grow, initiatives like the 30 Cubed Program are vital to

ensuring a resilient, well-connected, and efficient transportation network.
