) - Voters in four communities targeted for annexation delivered a split result Tuesday on a proposal to join the city, with three areas giving a thumbs up and the other one voting it down., residents in the area surrounding the so-called Airport Boulevard Corridor, surrounding the Baker High School precinct, overwhelmingly defeated the measure by a vote of 862 to 431.The so-called Cottage Hill Corridor voted 1,933 to 1,166 in favor of annexation.
“We’re bigger than Birmingham,” Stimpson said to a raucous crowd at Kravers Seafood Restaurant on Leroy Stevens Road, which now is in Mobile.But the vote is more than just civic pride or members of the West Mobile Annexation Commission, which has tried for years to add neighborhoods to the city. Freddy Wheeler, secretary of the group, said supporters never lost hope after earlier annexation defeats.
Stimpson and his allies pitched services like free garbage pickup and emergency medical services. City officials said some services, like ambulance service, will begin almost immediately.
