Selma construction company revives once empty shopping center

From the West Alabama Newsroom–

A Selma construction company is reviving a once empty strip mall — located on one of the city’s busiest streets.

Steward Construction Company is slowly transforming the property and bringing it back to life.

The company built a Climate Control Storage facility on the property. And now an Army Recruiting Center — and Labcorp — are moving in.

Future plans for the plaza include providing commercial office space — and possibly bringing in a restaurant.

“We’ve got a great parking space area. We are looking into maybe putting in a restaurant out in the parking lot,” said Steward Construction Company CFO Davis Jones.

“We’ve also had some interest of building out a restaurant here in the building itself.”

The plaza is a welcome sign of recovery — in an area of the city hit hard by a 2023 tornado.
