Celebrate 40 Years of Orange Beach at Town Hall Event
Mayor Tony Kennon and the City Council of Orange Beach will hold a Town Hall meeting on Tuesday, August 6th, at the Orange Beach Event Center. This meeting will follow the 5 p.m. City Council meeting and work session.
The mayor will present updates on city projects and programs, including plans for The Wharf Landing property on the north side of the Intracoastal Waterway. The event will also celebrate the city’s 40th anniversary of incorporation. Attendees can receive free keepsakes to mark the occasion.
As is tradition in Orange Beach, the Town Hall will include a session where residents can ask questions after the presentations. This provides an opportunity for community members to engage with local leaders directly.
Orange Beach Mayor Tony Kennon provided a detailed update on the State of the City at the Coastal Alabama Chamber First Friday Forum Breakfast, held at the Orange Beach Event Center, this past Friday. His presentation underscored the city's financial resilience, key infrastructure developments, and plans for enhancing community facilities and public services.
The City of Orange Beach's Public Works crews have completed planting palm trees in the median on East Canal Road. Once the landscaping is fully complete, these trees will be illuminated with up-lighting, adding a charming ambiance to the area. This initiative is part of a broader project aimed at improving the infrastructure and aesthetic appeal of East Canal Road, which was recently taken over from the state by the city.
On Oct. 1, Orange will begin the process of widening the sidewalk to a 10-foot multi-modal path along east Canal Road from Wilson Boulevard to Bear Point by hiring Thompson Engineering to provide planning, design and inspection services for the $3.6 million project.
