McClellan Development Authority

Fantastic news from The City of Anniston, Alabama! Glad to see continued development in the commercial parcels deeded to the City for their development.

It has been an honor and privilege for us to serve the McClellan Development Authority and this remarkable community. I am proud to have led our incredible and hardworking staff and managed the board’s development direction through some challenging times.

As we close out this chapter of the MDA, we wanted to highlight some of our successes and achievements for the McClellan area. These photos represent just a sample of the projects, developments, relationships, and positive changes that we have achieved over the past few years.

Through bringing in new business, helping companies expand, creating interest through marketing, social media and community involvement, advancing ecotourism, providing safety measures, sprucing up McClellan and bringing life to a stagnant area; we are confident that McClellan is in a stronger position to continue to grow and thrive due to our hard work and commitment to this community.

On behalf of my amazing staff, we thank you for all the support and trust you’ve given us to help move McClellan forward.

With Gratitude,

Jules Moss
Executive Director

We want to extend our apologies to everyone who expressed interest in our residential subdivision project, The Park at McClellan. After nearly a year of diligent work, we regret to share that our development plans were not approved by the City of Anniston; therefore, we weren’t able to reach the point of an official reveal or announcement.

We wanted to share these concept images that showcase our original vision for a subdivision of garden homes, which we considered the ideal place for retirees and those looking to downsize in a quiet, historic community.

While we’re disappointed we couldn’t bring this vision to life, we remain hopeful that someone will bring this project to fruition. We also want to thank Hutto Construction for preparing the site, L.I. Smith & Associates for their design and engineering plan, and all those who supported this project since its infancy.

This week, Preston York of FlowMotion Trail Builders presented the multi-use trail extension concept design for the 700 hundred acres across from the Camp McClellan Horse Trails on Iron Mountain Rd at the MDA’s quarterly meeting and the Regional Trails Committee meeting in Jacksonville.

As York explained, our vision for this property is to create a trail activity hub for hikers, bikers, runners, and horse riders, with carefully designed safety measures to protect and accommodate everyone.

The plans have been well-received by the trail community, and many are excited to see the project come to fruition. Tomorrow, York will present these plans to the Back Country Horsemen of America, McClellan Chapter to address pertinent questions regarding the multi-use design (seen below).

The MDA has always valued the diversity of our recreational community and worked to ensure equal representation for all trail user groups. We are grateful to Flowmotion Trail Builders for bringing this vision to life through this concept map, demonstrating that a multi-use trail system is not only achievable but also best suited for the property.
