Trussville hires broker to market former Gold Kist chicken plant property
Summary
Council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to contract with Graham and Company to market the former Gold Kist chicken plant property; members said the contract was reviewed at the earlier workshop and approved by motion.
The Trussville City Council voted to authorize the mayor to sign an agreement engaging Graham and Company to market the former Gold Kist chicken plant property.
Councilor Brigh introduced the resolution and noted the agreement’s terms were reviewed by council at the workshop immediately preceding the meeting. The resolution authorizes the city to retain Graham and Company as broker/marketing agent; the transcript does not include the full contract text or commission terms.
Why it matters: the property has sat vacant since the plant closed and marketing through a professional broker could attract buyers or redevelopment projects with implications for local jobs and tax revenues. The council approved the resolution by voice vote.
