Good morning, Mobile.

Gov. Ivey awarded $4.5 million in Community Services Block Grants to 18 agencies to help low-income residents become self-sufficient; Mobile Community Action Inc. received $398,576 for local programs — including job training, housing aid and emergency services — aimed at boosting economic stability.

The final Joe Cain Classic 5k took place on Sunday when over 800 runners navigated a flat course past Metro Jail (an industrial area) and enjoyed a festive block party that marked the end of a 35-year Mardi Gras tradition.

Organizers reported nearly $240,000 was raised for local challenged athletes.

On Sunday, Feb. 15, locals gathered outside Old Church Street Graveyard for the 52nd Joe Cain Day as Merry Widows wailed in tribute.

Tanner Parrish from Prattville was surprised by Josh Cameron — Pop’s Midtown co-owner — with a prize package as large crowds celebrated the tradition.

Silicon Ranch will move forward with its $300 million solar project in Stockton today despite community opposition.

The developer will hold a public meeting soon (details pending) and plans to build a solar array on 2,000 acres while preserving 800 acres of wetlands.
