APEX Remediation requests Light Industrial rezoning on Hwy 280, says expansion would bring about 10–15 local jobs
Summary
APEX Remediation, LLC asked the Harpersville Planning & Zoning Board to rezone a Hwy 280 parcel from Agricultural to Light Industrial to build a warehouse and small office; the company said all operational work is off-site, no waste will be stored on the property, and the board scheduled a public hearing for April 20, 2026.
Derrick Moore, representing APEX Remediation, LLC, told the Harpersville Planning & Zoning Board on March 16 that his environmental services company purchased parcel 1832 Hwy 280 and seeks rezoning from Agricultural (AG) to Light Industrial (M1) to build a warehouse for equipment storage and a small office. Moore said APEX has operated since March 2023, is based in Sylacauga, and expects to double in size if it finds a suitable Harpersville site. He told the board the company anticipates creating approximately 10 to 15 new jobs and plans to hire locally.
Moore stated that APEX performs all remediation work off-site at customer locations and that ‘‘no waste will be stored on-site and no active work will be conducted at this location.’’ He also said APEX intends to use local contractors such as Davis Metal to construct the building. The board discussed the application briefly and Board Member Dale Glasscock moved to schedule a public hearing on the rezoning; Della Pender seconded. The roll-call vote was unanimous in favor and the public hearing was set for April 20, 2026.
No final rezoning decision was made at the March 16 meeting. The public hearing will allow neighbors and other stakeholders to comment on the proposed M1 designation and on the company’s assurances about storage and onsite activity prior to any final action by the board.
