Background Information of Walker Springs Development

Image
As of today, here is what we know: As proposed, this development which is known as Walker Springs will consist of 450 acres, 1,004 homes in multiple subdivisions, and a new road. The road will connect to Hwy 119 at Veterans Park with a traffic light and span all the way to Smokey Road via the fields and cow pastures. The development will also have a minimum of 5 acres dedicated to commercial businesses that will be near the Smokey road side of the development.

Walker Springs Public Hearing Recap

  Walker Springs Public Hearing Recap Once again, our community is simply the best! The residents and students from the University of Montevallo really advocated and challenged city leadership to address our concerns and to focus on responsible growth. Here’s a recap for those unable to attend the City Council’s public hearing on November 14th. It was a longer than normal city council meeting due to the number of agenda items and the mayor taking the time to address the council and those in attendance before diving into the agenda.

He stated again that the city has not done a good job at educating the public about these developments and promised himself, the city manager and public relations manager would improve the information disseminated in the future. The only person who spoke in favor of the amended plan was Newcast...
