Fairhope, Alabama
 |
| 'Shops at Pt. Clear' |
NO OPENING DATE YET
The city council approved the annexation of the new 'Shops at Point Clear' on south Greeno Road into city limits, per the terms of an associated project development agreement with owner RW Battles Llc; still no definite opening date has been set for the new grocery or other stores there as far as we know.
The similar 'Planters Point' shopping center located on the north side of town on Hwy 181 also annexed into the city earlier this year.
Businesses inside city limits pay full city sales and property tax; services like police and fire protection extend well beyond city limits currently, but that may be changing next year.

Sheriffs office in an emergency instead of Fairhope Police that could be there in minutes. Who knows what is going to happen to fire protection. The only people that are going to benefit from this are large developers who will get there plans approved by the county not by local people that care about their community.
The map of the City of Fairhope looks like someone slopped red paint onto white- it is a patchwork, which no doubt adds to all this confusion. Why don’t they just have a goal of clean boundaries? No doubt political.
the Alabama constitution gives control of everything to the legislature. Ever wonder why the people of Alabama cannot put a petition on the ballot? 70% of Alabamians want the lottery, that means that at least 11 of the Alabama Senators needs to wheel and deal to benefit their interests to get anything passed. Wonder why Alabama ranks last or near last in everything?
