Port Alabama Industrial Center Holds Groundbreaking Ceremony in Loxley

Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance and local and state officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for the Port Alabama Industrial Center, located in Loxley, on Wednesday, Aug. 21.

The Port Alabama Industrial Center is a three-phase, 900-acre, 12 million-square-foot site on the southwest corner of I-10 and Highway 59 on the north side of Highway 90. It will add 350 new jobs to the area.

“The close proximity to 1-10 and the centralized location in Baldwin County between Mobile and Pensacola will attract quality tenants that will provide good, high-paying jobs for the citizens of not only Baldwin County but of the entire Southwest region of Alabama,” said Baldwin County Commission Chair Billie Jo Underwood. “These types of good, stable jobs will help increase the quality of life of the citizens of Baldwin County and help us continue to ensure a stable local and regional economy.”

Gulf Corporation, a Dallas-based real estate development firm, is developing the site.
