Huntsville based 4Site, Inc. is putting the finishing touches on detailed road construction documents for the McClellan Development Authority’s Pappy Dunn Blvd. road improvement project slated to begin later this year. As part of an overall $2.6 million infrastructure improvement effort, 4Site is working closely with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) to finalize the detailed construction plans so that the City of Anniston can announce that the project is open for Bids. 4Site has been partnering with the MDA since 2009 to develop almost 600 acres of property in the McClellan Industrial and Research/Technology Parks. Over a three year period, the MDA invested over $650,000 to conduct an overall infrastructure inventory, lead a community planning charrette for the design and layout of the two Parks, and the completion of detailed engineering documents and cost estimates for both Parks. The MDA was not looking for documents that would sit on a shelf Once the finalized plans are approved by ALDOT, all documentation will be passed to the City of Anniston and the process of publicly announcing the project for contractor bids can begin. The goal for the MDA is to begin “turning dirt” later this year. For more information about 4Site, visit their website at www.4siteinc.biz or call them at 256.539.1221.

The Alagasco building site is humming with activity as construction crews work hard to finish the new Operations Center for Anniston. Located on Pappy Dunn Boulevard, the building’s stucco and tile roofed facade with natural stone outdoor patio beautifully captures many of the historic architectural elements found throughout McClellan. Wayne Sisk, Manager of System Integrity for Alagasco, says the company is working to have building open for business by mid-June. This new Alagasco Service Center is more than just one building. The main building will be a LEED certified facility and serve as a demonstration site for high efficiency gas usage. Company construction, meter reading, and collection departments will all have offices there and an indoor/outdoor conference meeting center will be available for public use.

McClellan’s newest corporate resident, Creedmoor Sports, Inc. is having the final touches put on its building renovation project. Located on 167 Creedmoor Way, Creedmoor’s renovations included major interior modifications to the existing structure and well as the construction of a 5,000 square foot annex to provide additional warehouse space for products, supplies and equipment. Dennis DeMille, Creedmoor’s General Manager, anticipates the renovation to be completed by the end of the month. Following a long distance move of personnel, supplies, and equipment from their former location in Oceanside, California, Creedmoor reopened their internet business operations on April 22, once again providing their customers with quality marksmanship shooting accessories. Their plans also call for opening a storefront retail operation in the next few months.

Holmes II Excavation, Inc. mobilized their “yellow iron” equipment this week and began the task of clearing and grubbing approximately sixty acres of property located inside the McClellan Industrial Park. This effort is but another in a series of property improvement projects that the McClellan Development Authority has undertaken over the past three years. This $200,000 project includes the clearing, grubbing, and seeding of seven different lots located throughout the Industrial Park. Last year, these parcels were part of a major timber clearing operation to open up additional property for development. When the Holmes Excavation team completes their work, these new “construction ready” sites will be available for potential businesses looking to locate in the area. Several of the parcels being cleared (approximately 32 acres) are adjacent to Pappy Dunn Boulevard, the Industrial Park’s main gateway off of Iron Mountain Road. The Boulevard itself is scheduled for a $1.7 million facelift later this year complete with new road surfacing and curbing, entrance signs, landscaping, and sidewalks. info@exploremcclellan.com or call 256.236.2011
