District 3 shop moving to town

The District #3 workshop and administrative office is in the process of relocating to a renovated building at 151 Buster Road in Falkville.

“It’s been slow in coming but we’re getting there,” said Commissioner Don Stisher. ”We’re now moving shop equipment and will be setting up new offices when our phones and electrical outlets for our computers are installed,” Stisher said. “We plan to be fully operational this month.

“We’ll keep our current phone number, 256-784-5476, Stisher pointed out. “The old location, 1694 Hwy. 55, will continue to serve as a voting precinct and a drop station for the county’s spring and fall cleanup projects. We’ll also continue to use it for storage of gravel and other supplies.
