Honoring The Past, Reclaiming The Future
LOCATION
A State-of-the-Art
50-Acre, Multi-Purpose Development Site
Birmingham-headquartered Drummond Company is creating a state-of-the-art, 50-acre, multi-purpose development site that can seamlessly be customized and turnkey ready for retail, commercial, and/or industrial tenants to build out along Interstate 22 Exit 78. All lots available in the development offer access to all utilities, including water, electricity, sewer, and gas. Conveniently located in Jefferson County, Alabama, this prime development site provides excellent connectivity and visibility, making it an ideal location for a wide range of businesses.
Heritage Landing is Currently in Development
The property is contiguous and immediately adjacent to the I-22 corridor connection between Birmingham and Memphis. This prime location, right off of exit 78, is only a 15-minute commute from downtown Birmingham and a 25-minute drive from downtown Jasper. The site is located adjacent to the Dora community in Walker County.
HONORING THE PAST
The Heart of Historic Alabama Coal Mining Communities
While the Heritage Landing site sits off of the first interstate exit along the corridor within Walker County coming from the Birmingham area, the property location is also within the heart of historic Alabama coal-mining communities that were established and flourished during the 20th-century mining boom.
DRUMMOND & OTHER PARTNERS
Sparked by the Alabama Department of Labor’s Abandoned Mine Land Program
The Heritage Landing project was sparked by the Alabama Department of Labor’s Abandoned Mine Land Program’s planned restoration of a pre-1960 non-reclaimed mine site through funding from the U.S. Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcements’ (OSMRE) Abandoned Mine Land Economic Revitalization (AMLER) Program, which would reclaim the site’s mine spoil and eliminate 3,000 feet of abandoned mine high wall.
However, Drummond Company – with the backing of local, regional, state, and federal partners – did not want to stop at simply reclaiming the land once mined by companies that no longer exist. Drummond saw the opportunity to honor the past while also providing a springboard to the future; that bold vision is now becoming a reality thanks to a major financial investment from Drummond and other project partners.
