Cheers! Cat-n-Bird Winery is planning to expand their operations and add to its winery grounds. The Shelby County winery’s growth gives us the perfect excuse to plan a trip.
As calls for reservations for weddings and private events continue to soar, owner, Matt Lyons, decided that it’s time to expand. Lyons plans to add a pavilion large enough to seat 175 guests.
4. Greater Birmingham Humane Society
Earlier this week, we shared that the Greater Birmingham Humane Society (GBHS) is planning to build a new state of the art campus on Lakeshore Parkway. Located along Sydney Drive and Lucrene Lane, GBHS and the Jefferson County Commission are working to acquire several adjacent lots from U.S. Steel to build a new animal impoundment center, adoption center and animal hospital. The proposed campus totals approximately 16 acres.
