Ten new building permits were issued this past week in Alabama for construction projects exceeding $1 million. Of these, five are for projects in North Alabama, two are for Birmingham metro projects and one is in Auburn.

The largest of these projects, however, is in Gadsden at the beloved Noccalula Falls Park and Campground.

Here’s more on these new building permits:

Noccalula Falls Park + Campgrounds

Noccalula Falls Park and Campground is undergoing a huge renovation — running more than $11 million total — and one of the new building permits issued in the state this past week is part of that project.

The Gadsden City Council in January approved Lambert Contracting LLC’s $11,376,500 bid for a major renovation at Noccalula Falls. This project includes:

Realignment + expansion of the internal roadway network (including decorative lighting)
New utility services
Reconstruction + realignment of RV parking spots
Bathhouse renovations
New zero-entry swimming pool + large pavilion
New administrative office
Reconstruction + resurfacing of lower parking lot
New gateway signage
Landscaping upgrades

The project is supposed to be completed by January of 2025.
