It has been an honor and privilege for us to serve the McClellan Development Authority and this remarkable community.  I am proud to have led our incredible and hardworking staff and manage the board’s development direction through some challenging times.   As we close out this chapter of the MDA, we wanted to highlight some of our successes and achievements for the McClellan area. These photos represent just a sample of the projects, developments, relationships, and positive changes that we have achieved over the past few years.    Through bringing in new business, helping companies expand, creating interest through marketing, social media and community involvement, advancing ecotourism, providing safety measures, sprucing up McClellan and bringing life to a stagnant area; we are confident that McClellan is in a stronger position to continue to grow and thrive due to our hard work and commitment to this community.   On behalf of my amazing staff, we thank you for all the support and trust you’ve given us to help move McClellan forward.     With Gratitude,   Jules Moss Executive Director We aided the Alabama National Guard with their expansion of the Fort McClellan Training Facility, utilizing previously undevelopable land. Our collaborative efforts were recognized with a Certificate of Achievement from the United States Department of the Army in September 2024. We’ve welcomed new business ventures, including OneWorld Pet Resort, Team Sports + McClellan Sports & Outdoors, Longleaf Primary Care, McClellan Senior Living, and more. Creedmoor Sports purchased additional land to move their base operations to McClellan, and we aided in the resale of the Starships for development into movie and recording studios. We worked diligently with the City of Anniston and the Anniston Police Department to install a four-way stop at the intersection of Gen. Gerald Watson Way and Summerall Gate Rd, speed humps at the entrance of the McClellan Trails, and four live-feed security cameras around McClellan. We also invested in a complete overhaul of the wayfinding signs to improve direction and encourage visitors. In 2019, we opened Phase I of the McClellan Trails, the first trails in the state constructed specifically for middle and high school mountain bikers with the expertise of FlowMotion Trail Builders and IMBA Trail Solutions. Phase II and III expanded the trail system to a total of 18 miles of multi-use singletrack for hikers, bikers, walkers, and runners. In 2023, the McClellan Trails contributed to a $9.7 million economic impact from visitor spending. After repairing the dam, the MDA began the process of redeveloping Lake Yahou in 2019 — stocking fish, clearing the drives, and marking the walking trail. Since its grand opening in May 2022, new varieties of fish have been added, the roads and parking lot have been paved, and a 50-foot pier has been constructed. The park also connected to the McClellan Multi-Use Trails for additional access. Our development efforts have led to the demolition, construction, and remodeling of various sites and buildings across McClellan, with a renewed focus on residential development, as well as the consistent maintenance of the grounds to keep properties for sale in prime condition. McClellan has become a mecca for various events -- social, historical, and recreational. 2024 featured the Alabama Dryland Dawg Derby, Shred for Sloan, McClellan Madness, Alabama Cycling Association Season Race, Gone Riding Georgia State Championship Race #2, OneWorld Canine Obstacle Run, Assault on Sunset Hill, Lake Yahou 50k, Treadhoofalon, German-Italian Memorial Ceremony, Anniston Runners Club Christmas Tree Run, Wreaths Across America Wreath-Laying Ceremony, and more. In 2019, we deeded the Calhoun County Commission 930 acres of land for the development of horse trails for only $1. We maintain the non-private grounds in the McClellan community, including upholding the beauty and honoring the significance of the Baltzell Gate entrance to McClellan – the last entrance with a guard house still remaining. During the 2021 Fort McClellan Military Police reunion, we dedicated the Baltzell Gate Guard House to the men and women of the Military Police Corps and federal civilian service who protected the Fort during its operation. Beginning with the hire of a marketing specialist in 2022, the MDA has ramped up and made outstanding improvements in our digital presence in order to effectively promote development, business, and recreation, highlighting our well-engaged Facebook community. These measures include the much-needed redesign of MDA website to feature a frequently-updated properties page, as well as the creation of the “What’s Happening at McClellan” e-newsletter. Our staff reunited, fostered, or found new homes for four dogs who were lost or dumped at McClellan. We began the process of clearing out a 42-acre site for the development of a residential subdivision of garden homes, which would have provided a new area of McClellan for people to call home. At the end of 2024, we contracted Flowmotion Trail Builders to design an expansion concept plan for the multi-use trails for the 700 acres across from the Camp McClellan Horse Trails on Iron Mountain Rd. The design would safely separate horse riders on their own trails, as well as offer trails for mountain bikers, hikers, walkers, and runners to prioritize the interests of all trail groups.

The MDA extends apologies to everyone who expressed interest in the residential subdivision project, The Park at McClellan. After nearly a year of diligent work, we regret to share that our development plans were not approved by the City of Anniston; therefore, we weren’t able to reach the point of an official reveal or announcement.   We wanted to share the survey map that showcases our original vision for a subdivision of garden homes, which we considered the ideal place for retirees and those looking to downsize in a quiet, historic community. While we’re disappointed, we couldn’t bring this vision to life, we remain hopeful that someone will bring this project to fruition. We also want to thank Hutto Construction for preparing the site, L.I. Smith & Associates for their design and engineering plan, and all those who supported this project since its infancy.

This week, Preston York of FlowMotion Trail Builders presented the multi-use trail extension concept design for the 700 hundred acres across from the Camp McClellan Horse Trails on Iron Mountain Rd at the MDA’s quarterly meeting and the Regional Trails Committee meeting in Jacksonville. As York explained, our vision for this property is to create a trail activity hub for hikers, bikers, runners, and horse riders, with carefully designed safety measures to protect and accommodate everyone. The plans have been well-received by the trail community, and many are excited to see the project come to fruition. Tomorrow, York will present these plans to the Back Country Horsemen of America, McClellan Chapter to address pertinent questions regarding the multi-use design. The MDA has always valued the diversity of our recreational community and worked to ensure equal representation for all trail user groups. We are grateful to Flowmotion Trail Builders for bringing this vision to life through this concept map, demonstrating that a multi-use trail system is not only achievable but also best suited for the property.

AVAILABLE BUILDINGS AND PROPERTIES MCCLELLAN MAP BLOG DHS/FEMA Center for Domestic Preparedness The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) supports citizens and emergency personnel to build, sustain, and improve the nation's capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards. The Center for Domestic Preparedness is a subdivision of FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security. It provides advanced, all-hazards training to approximately 50,000 emergency responders annually from state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as the federal government, foreign governments, and private entities, as available. The scope of training includes preparedness, protection, and response. FACEBOOK WEBSITE CONTACT Fort McClellan Army National Guard Training Center The War Department formally established Camp McClellan on July 18, 1917. The camp was named in honor of Major General George B. McClellan, General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army from 1861 to 1862. Camp McClellan was a mobilization camp used to quickly train men for WWI. Camp McClellan was redesignated Fort McClellan, a permanent post, on July 1, 1929. New construction began immediately, and the post grew rapidly and was used extensively to train soldiers for WWII. Nearly 500,000 men were trained at Fort McClellan during WWII, including a company of Japanese-Americans who helped familiarize American troops with methods used by Japanese soldiers. Many individuals and units trained here received the highest military honors and decorations during the war. Through the many years of service Fort McClellan has been home to many distinguished units and organizations including the U.S. Army Chemical Center and School, the U.S. Army Military Police School and the Women’s Army Corps Center. To meet the requirement for the Vietnam War, an Advanced Individual Training Infantry Brigade was activated in 1966, and trained more than 30,000 men. In 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission voted to permanently close Fort McClellan. The official closing ceremony ending Fort McClellan’s illustrious past was held on May 20, 1999. At the time of closure, Fort McClellan was home to the U.S. Army Chemical School, the U.S. Army Military Police School, the Training Brigade, and the Department of Defense Polygraph Institute. Fort McClellan was in continuous service as an active military installation from 1917 through 1999. During this period, it played an important role in shaping the history of the Alabama Army National Guard. Between the years of 1920 and 1922, the entire Alabama National Guard completed field training at Fort McClellan. In 1949, a Maintenance Training Site was established here followed by the establishment of the Alabama Military Academy in 1957. In 1965, the Alabama Guard opened a Training Site on McClellan utilizing a few of the World War II training facilities that remained. Through the years the Training Site continued to grow and in 1999, with the BRAC closure of Fort McClellan as an active component base, the Guard Training Site transitioned to a stand-alone military installation. In addition to the National Guard and Army Reserve, the Fort McClellan Army National Guard Training Center currently supports all branches of the Department of Defense. What began with approximately forty acres of land and a few World War II facilities has now grown to more than 22,000 acres and approximately one million square feet of facility space.
