Childersburg City Council resolution paves the way for Cooper Steel expansion

SHARE NOW

CHILDERSBURG, Ala. – The Childersburg City Council set in motion a plan for Cooper Steel South, LLC to expand their Childersburg facility and increase their production employment.

To open their Tuesday, Jan. 21 meeting, the Council approved Resolution 2025-03, which authorizes Mayor Ken Wesson to sign a letter of intent on behalf of the City of Childersburg and the Industrial Development Authority with Cooper Steel South. That agreement is for an option to purchase around 60 acres located in the Industrial Park for the amount of $6,000 per acre.

In other new business, the Council approved the payment of expenses for Mayor Wesson to attend the Alabama League of Municipalities 2025 Advocacy Day, where he will work alongside other municipal officials from around the state to help set the League’s advocacy agenda for the upcoming session of the Alabama Legislature. There is a $195 registration at Renaissance Montgomery on Feb. 12, 2025.

The Council also approved Rachel Carlson and Aimee Burnette to attend the Regional Alabama Judicial College Conference on April 3, 2025 in Birmingham. The registration is $240 for each applicant.

Approval was given to pay invoices in the amount of $512,348.36. That includes a $95,000 installment for the City’s liability insurance premiums, along with a $213,000 payment on the new Police and Judicial building construction.

Mayor Wesson thanked the Elks Lodge for hosting this month’s Greater Coosa Valley Chamber Coffee.

“You had a great crowd, a wonderful breakfast, and gave us a lot of information on your lodge’s community involvement,” said Mayor Wesson. “We are fortunate to have you as a community partner.”

Though the weather hasn’t exactly cooperated, Wesson also reported that the citywide leaf collection program is moving along well and will hopefully be completed in the next few weeks.

The next regular meeting of the Childersburg City Council will be held on Tuesday, Feb. 4th at 6:00 p.m.
