Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pelham public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Property transaction at 1908 and 1910 Montgomery Highway
The council was set to review accepting the sale of two parcels at 1908 and 1910 Montgomery Highway from the Commercial Development Authority — putting city-area land back into private development.
Development consulting agreement
A special-called meeting July 30 will consider a development consulting agreement — an early step in a major project leaders say will take years, not months.
QuikTrip rezoning at Highway 52 and Racquet Club Parkway
QuikTrip wants to build its first Alabama store — with an unnamed national coffee chain on the corner — on about 6 acres now zoned agricultural. Neighbors are split: some tout the jobs and cleanliness, others warn of traffic at an already congested intersection and competition for three existing minority-owned gas stations. The ordinance only got a first reading, so the final vote is still ahead.
