Anniston, AL – In response to the burgeoning growth of downtown Anniston and the community’s expressed concerns about limited parking, the City of Anniston is thrilled to announce a significant development. The city has awarded MBA Engineers a contract to design a brand-new public parking lot at the former Model City Building site, strategically located at the intersection of 12th Street and Noble Street in Anniston.
Currently, MBA Engineers is in the initial stages of the design process, laying the groundwork for an exciting project that promises to address the city’s parking needs comprehensively. The preliminary concept draft, displayed below, offers a glimpse of what’s in store, including innovative landscaping, state-of-the-art lighting, and the addition of over 70 much-needed public parking spaces.
As MBA Engineers finalizes their design plans, the city will unveil a detailed timeline for the project. Following this, the City of Anniston will invite bids from prospective contractors. The selection of a contractor will mark the next step in this transformative initiative, with the project anticipated to kick off in 2024.
The project itself will involve several key phases. It will begin with the backfilling of the existing hole using fill dirt, followed by thorough grading of the entire site. The asphalt will be laid, and the finishing touches, including landscaping and lighting, will be added as the project reaches its conclusion.
