We hardly knew ye….
Looks like the city council will vote to DE-annex 2000 acres of US Steel owned property that borders the Barber Motorsports Park.
I’m not really surprised that they didn’t fight the request, seeing as it was apparently made by Arrington’s admistration 12 years ago. But what does shock me is this little blurb from the AL.com article:
The residential development to be controlled by a division of U.S. Steele is part of that company’s larger plans to shut down its manufacturing operations in Birmingham and move to another city.
First of all, that is one difficult sentence to understand…
And then, wait, since when has USS planned on shutting down all its manufacturing operations in Birmingham? This is news to me!!
Please pipe up if you’ve got any info on this, it must be shared!
