So it has long been my belief that the way construction projects work would be very, very shocking to most of us citizens.

So give me a chance here: I believe a meeting is called, everyone gathers around, and a director or supervisor steps up and looks at all the employees in the room. He then says to everyone in attendance, “you know, things in Northport and Tuscaloosa seem to be working and flowing pretty well during morning and afternoon rush hour, so I’m gonna give a bonus to the first person that can give us the best idea on how to screw it all up!” of course, at that point, the room goes crazy and idea after idea is flowing and is presented before a vote and an agreement on which project they will go with.

Yes, I know that is simply my theory, and I have absolutely no proof of this ever happening at any meeting.

Let’s get to the latest news on construction currently in Northport on Main Avenue. That is a main artery in Northport, and I know from talking to several business owners, including Tia Mills at Sunmed CBD, that they are a tad frustrated because they are ready to get all of their customers back in their stores.

As we have been told in the past, this new project in Northport is going to include wider sidewalks and a better parking system with vehicles at an angle. Tia told me that she is very excited about the changes and believes they will increase their customer base. But all local business owners are ready for the improvements to be completed as soon as possible.

Northport city officials tell us that all of the construction is necessary because of the way that the city of Northport has been growing in recent years, and it is imperative that changes are made. Let’s hope that everyone is successful and feels good about the way things are handled for all those people in business in Northport.
