Greeno Building Leased For Second Police Station

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

329 S. Greeno Road

MORE SPACE NEEDED

The city council approved a lease agreement for 12K square feet in the front Suite A of the building located at 329 S. Greeno Road, to be used for a second police station.

'329 S. Greeno Llc' is now the owner; John C. Bell of Mobile the agent/organizer.

Term is for 48 months at $7500/month with a 3% yearly increase built in; total cost will be about $8000K/month according to the city attorney (insurance/other costs included).

According to previous discussions, the space will be used as a precinct for the patrol division which has trouble using the downtown station due to increasing traffic congestion on Section Street.

Funding will come from money that was set aside in this year's budget for a new building on donated land behind Walmart, that never materialized for reasons known only to the company (according to mayor Sullivan).

The public would like to know what happen to Walmart's donated lot for a new police station. Is it because of time restrictions for the construction of a facility or lack of money for the station? I wish someone would elaborate on this issue.

This is good news. Our neighborhoods are in dire need of more patrols. Speeding through neighborhoods is rampant, crime appears to be on the uptick as well.
Hoping this new facility will help the officers get out and about more.

The mayor said recently that Walmart's legal department "went silent" about the land donation. Does not respond to inquiries. The Fairhope city council approved the deal over a year ago.
