City of Fairhope Gives The Green Light For Project on State Highway 181

FAIRHOPE Ala.

A construction project waiting for approval from the City of Fairhope was given the green light during the July meeting.

 The Encounter Commercial Retail Center on 35 acres on the northeast corner of the Hwy 181/104 intersection in east Fairhope can now begin to build.

A new Wawa convenience store is already under construction at that site and a second lot has already been sold but it’s not known what will be built there.

The 35-acre plot has already had all infrastructure installed to the specifications of the city.

Six other lots are still for sale, including the house used in 1970s ‘Close Encounters’ movie on lot number six. It’s currently being marketed for sale for $23/square foot.

The area around State Highway 181 and 104 continues to see rapid growth including a recently opened shopping center anchored by a Publix and medical complex to the south of the intersection.
