This past week, 10 new building permits were issued across Alabama for construction projects exceeding $1 million. Of these, two are for projects in the Huntsville area, five are for projects in the Birmingham metro, and three are in the Tuscaloosa area.

The largest of these projects is a Walmart Neighborhood Market set for construction in Tuscaloosa. Here’s what we know:

Walmart Neighborhood Market in Tuscaloosa

In July, the Tuscaloosa City Council unanimously approved rezoning 1.86 acres of land in the area of 8600 Alabama Highway 69 South from R-1, residential, to BN, neighborhood commercial district to make way for a new Walmart Neighborhood Market.

This new grocery store will be located near the intersection with Patriot Parkway across from Tractor Supply Company. Another $2.6 million permit was issued for a fuel station at the same location.

The permit is for $12.6 million, and the store address is listed at 8600 AL-69, Tuscaloosa, AL 35405. DBS Corp. in Chattanooga is listed as the lead contractor, and they have not indicated a timeline for the project.
