When the last note of taps played and the garrison flag was lowered at Fort McClellan in September of 2000, the future of this vast property was uncertain. Almost overnight, the “Showplace of the South” was dark, empty and home to deer and turkey instead of soldiers. The McClellan Joint Powers Authority (JPA) was created to redevelop the property and return it as an active part of the community. Now recognized as one of Alabama’s premiere economic redevelopment projects, McClellan is being transformed.
