"Funding the Northern Beltline has consistently been one of my top priorities," Palmer said. "Birmingham is currently one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country without a complete beltline around it. Completing the Northern Beltline will benefit the entire region and enhance economic development and employment opportunities.... This is the opportunity we have been working for as a region and a state. Now is the time for us to take advantage of it and complete the work by finishing the Northern Beltline and building a better future for the Birmingham metro area and central Alabama."
What the GOP congressman neglected to mention is that he voted against the legislation that will fund the project.
