In addition to supporting 16 full-time construction jobs, the project is expected to create 100 direct jobs and 30 indirect jobs.
Gov. Kay Ivey speaks Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2022, at a groundbreaking for the Heritage Landing project in Walker County. A 50-acre multi-use development was announced today for southern Walker County, with local and state officials saying the project will eliminate the hazards of a defunct coal mine and bring economic opportunity along the Interstate-22 corridor.
At an event today, Gov. Kay Ivey called the project “a win for rural Alabama” and a “catalyst for jobs, growth and so much more for our state.” “I believe today’s monumental announcement will be viewed long into the future as a launching pad to Walker County’s brightest days,” David Knight, executive director of the Walker County Development Authority, said. “Upon completion, this property will be the premier site in Alabama for companies looking to relocate or expand their operations.”
The first step in the project will be a full grading, using federal grant money to reclaim the land. The site will have full utilities, including electric, water and sewage, and high-speed broadband Internet access. In addition to its proximity to the interstate, it is near a Class 1 rail line.
