Plots of land at Glendale Farms will be torn up to complete drainage and site work.
There are projects and change aplenty on the docket for Trussville in 2025. To kick off the new year, we’re highlighting five things worth attention in the new year, including possible movement towards development of the Glendale Farms property.
Trussville may finally see some movement on the Glendale Farms property in 2025.
The city for the second time is seeking grant support from the Site Evaluation and Economic Development Strategy for the development of 86 acres at Glendale Farms. Trussville requested a total of $2.865 million in funding for the final design and construction to transform the land into Glendale Farms Technology Park.
Specifically, the funding would be used for mass grading, drainage, utility infrastructure and the construction of a portion of a new industrial access road for the technology-related industry within the park. The proposed road would connect to the east end of a new bridge and would run northward to access the technology park. Trussville mayor Buddy Choat said this is the second time the city has applied for this type of grant and they should know the result of this application in February. The first application was not approved.
If the grant application is approved, Choat said, the work could “quite possibly” begin in 2025.
