Builders Supply Co. Expands Fort Payne, Alabama, Manufacturing Operations

09/11/2024
Builders Supply Co. plans to expand its operations in Fort Payne, Alabama. The $10.6 million project is expected to create ten jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a 23,000-square-foot concrete block manufacturing facility at the Jacoway Industrial Site. Completion is scheduled for May 2025.

“We are extremely proud to be a multi-generational, family-owned/operated local business,” said George Weatherly, president and co-owner of Builders Supply. “We are excited to reinvest in the future of our employees, our families, and the communities in which we work and live.”

The project is being supported by a $1.1 million grant from the Growing Alabama program administered by the Alabama Department of Commerce. The funding allows the City of Fort Payne to make site improvements at the Jacoway Industrial Site.

In addition, The City of Fort Payne supported the project by donating property at the Jacoway Industrial Site to the company and providing sales and use tax abatements and 10-year property tax abatements.

“The Growing Alabama program is a powerful tool to accelerate the development of shovel-ready sites, which are critically needed today as we compete for high-impact economic development projects that bring significant job creation,” noted Ellen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This is a perfect example of how Growing Alabama grants can make a real impact on a community.”
