The ceremony at Aliceville City Hall is for one of a number of checks she has presented for federally funded community projects in Alabama's 7th Congressional District.

Sewell will present the check to Terrance Windham, mayor of Aliceville, for the construction of a joint police and volunteer fire station downtown. The funding is part of roughly $9.5 million in community project funding secured for Alabama's 7th Congressional District.

The funds are part of the fiscal year 2026 appropriations process, according to a statement from Rep. Sewell's office

Last Friday, Sewell announced a $27 million federal Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements grant to modernize rail infrastructure across the Black Belt and Gulf Coast region. The funding will support track rehabilitation, upgraded signals and communications, improvements at 34 railroad crossings, and other rail-safety projects on the Alabama & Gulf Coast Railway and Eastern Alabama Railway.

In a Facebook post, Sewell said several communities are expected to benefit, including Linden, Demopolis, Boligee, and Pickensville in West Alabama.
