## Resource

Irondale’s getting a major retail upgrade with a brand-new Costco set to break ground—yes, over $100 million invested on the corner of Grants Mill Road and I-459. This will be Alabama’s sixth Costco, promising 200+ new jobs and drawing shoppers from across central Alabama. While some locals question the location, city leaders see big economic upside, with construction already underway and opening expected in just 26 weeks.
