Summary
Costco’s long-awaited $105 million Irondale project finally moves forward after five years of delays, set to break ground this week with a 2028 opening. The massive development, spanning 33 acres near the interstate, includes a warehouse and fuel station and comes with a $70 million city incentive package. For the first 7-8 years, Costco keeps 88% of revenues, with the city getting 12% — then 100% for the city afterward. Officials project $8-10 million in new annual unrestricted funds, fueling road repairs and attracting more businesses to put Irondale on the map. A public meeting on June 15th will address concerns, including planned blasting and pre-blast home inspections. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
