Company Announces Plan For Baldwin (Mobile) Car Plant Bringing 6,000 Jobs
Friday, September 25, 2009
By GEORGE R. ALTMAN
MONTGOMERY - Hybrid Kinetic Motors plans a $1.5 billion car plant,employing nearly 6,000 workers, in Baldwin County within three to five years, company and state officials said Thursday.
But state leaders said much work needs to be done - particularly fundraising by HK Motors - before the hybrid car plant can be built, and it is far from certain that the project will be completed.
"We're waiting now to make sure that we have all the pieces in place, so we can move forward on something that could be a really incredible venture," Gov. Bob Riley said during a ceremony in the State Capitol Building.
Riley said he thought the plans would be realized, but added, "There are no guarantees in life."
State officials said they would not negotiate incentives until HK Motors raised more money and gave adequate assurances that taxpayer dollars would not be lost if the program fails.
The Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance has options on 3,000 acres north of Bay Minette and just south of Interstate 65.

To quote an old saying, "You can't take it with you!" Since this fact is true, a person should always consider having a Will, a Last Will and Testament, in order to lessen the complications in settling the estate for their bereaving family.
A person's death has an affect on their family emotionally and financially as well as with any unforeseen future personal or legal issues when settling the estate. Having a Will allows the decedent, deceased person, to efficiently outline their wishes in detail and properly distributes the estate, personal property and any real property owned, at the time of their death.
Therefore, settling an estate efficiently is important and, in some cases, can be very stressful depending on its complexity and the number of heirs. As an executor, or personal representative, you have been entrusted in carrying out the decedent's wishes as exactly outlined within the Will and as quickly as possible.
When it comes to settling an estate with real property, Al Cheney, Cheney Appraisal Services, can provide a "Certified," detailed and timely appraisal opinion report while, at the same time, understanding the family's bereavement and any sensitive issues associated with the decedent's Will.

Spanish Fort, Alabama continues to grow with new residential developments while maintaining its historic Southern charm. Its local people bustle from place to place, store to store, and eager to share a story, or two.
Spanish Fort is growing towards future prominence as "the major" town within Baldwin County, part of the Eastern Shore, and located only minutes from downtown Mobile by traveling west on I-10, across the "Bay-Way."
Spanish Fort has several newer residential developments, such as, "Garrison Ridge," about two years old. Most of the homes within "Garrison Ridge" have gross living areas between 3,213 square feet and 3,703 square feet, three bathrooms and four bedrooms according to online records. Building lots within this development will primarily range from $62,500 to $69,900.
"Garrison Ridge" is located about 1/2 mile north of U. S. Highway 31 and along the western side of Highway 225, near Spanish Fort's town center. "Garrison Ridge" sits on an area which once was the center of the Union lines during the Battle of Spanish Fort and one of the final battles of the American Civil War in the Spring of 1865. Before the development could begin, a team of archaeologists from the University of South Alabama spent time salvaging for information from the 57+- acre site.
The Certified Residential FHA Appraisers within Baldwin County also suggest checking into these other Spanish Fort subdivisions: Bromley Oaks, Cambron, Churchill, Delta Woods, The Hammock At Blakeley, Saluda Ridge, Spanish Fort Estates, Stillwater, Stonebrook, Tanager, Westminster Gates, Whisper Woods, and Wilkins Creek Estates.
