INFRASTRUCTURE GOING IN SOON
The famous house has been fenced off and site work begun at the 35-acre 'Encounter Development' on Hwy 181 in east Fairhope; streets and utility infrastructure will be first to be installed, according to the city's building inspector Eric Cortinas.
Plans for the site (inside city limits) approved earlier this year include a gas station/market on the corner and 12 commercial lots along the highways; interior lots to likely be mixed use offices/residential.
The project's engineer, Trey Jinright, told the Times then the house itself will probably be moved to a back lot at some point ... and used for office space.
Encounter Development Llc. is the owner.
