This past week, one new building permit was issued across Alabama for construction projects exceeding $1 million. The lone high-dollar project is for a new restaurant going in the old Oxford Train Station.

Here’s what we know about this project:

Building permit for Spring Street Station

The lone million-dollar-plus building permit issued this past week in Alabama was a $1.08 million project that is transforming the old Oxford Train station into a new restaurant.

Spring Street Station will open later this year, a restaurant and event venue in historic downtown Oxford. Here are some details:

The restaurant is owned by local restaurateur Charlotte Hubbard.
Spring Street Station will serve lunch and dinner.
The restaurant will serve “upscale fast food” which will range from special topping hot dogs to wings and burgers.
Live music will be featured with a venue for young artists to showcase their talent.
All draft beer served will be from Alabama breweries.
Plans are for the restaurant to open in the fall.
