You are right, 280 is a valuable commodity that is a real selling point to bussiness and industry. We also have an ariport that is grety under utillized with no hangers available. I understand there may be property constraints, but that hurts to. I have wo freinds who would love to be able to park their planes here, but have to drive to Pell City where they are actively building more hangers. But not AC. They seem content to sit back and do nothing. Oh yeah, there was once talk of an eatery going out there. My question is why? There is nothing going on there. I can see the crowds now just waiting with bated breath to go out to a dark field and have dinner next to the nice smell of asphalt. Sounds charming, huh?
Economic development in the whole county is a joke, but espcially in AC. But don't worry, they assure us that "something big" is coming anyday.
