The Birmingham City Council on Tuesday approved $1 million for the Birmingham Strong Service Corps--the job program created to provide jobs for those who lost theirs due to the pandemic.

Workers hired will provide services to support the city’s coronavirus response.

The measure was moved to the consent agenda, which doesn’t require discussion before a vote. The consent agenda items are considered “noncontroversial." The consent agenda was passed unanimously and the council meeting ended just a few minutes after.

The $1 million came from the Office of Economic Opportunity and Innovation and two economic development incentives, including $288,000 slated for TopGolf. Because TopGolf failed to meet the incentive requirements for minority participation, the $288,000 previously slated for TopGolf was moved to fund the Birmingham Strong Service Corps.

The other $712,000 came from $557,000 from the Office of Innovation and Economic Opportunity, along with $215,000 previously budgeted for a similar incentive agreement with the restaurant Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, which expired because the payout reached its cap amount.
