Industrial Park Plan Targets North West Decatur
Five firms, all but one based in Decatur, are expected to sign within a month for space in a proposed 150 acre industrial park in north west Decatur. A Birmingham firm is slated to anchor with about 120000 square feet. The park aims to serve light and medium industry and distribution, with rail access boosting transport to Monsanto, 3M, Fruehauf and Amoco. Development could take three years, with total investment around 2 million to 30 million. Final contracts hinge on property settlements and city planning specs.
