Currently our efforts are strongly focused on passing zoning and subdividion ordiances that will enable The Village of Spring Hill to move forward with the Blueprint for Spring Hill. CLICK HERE to see what is going on with this process. October 2007 SIDEWALK GRANT TOTALLY FUNDED!!!! Neighborhood sidewalks along Old Shell Road—from McGregor Avenue to University Boulevard—will become a reality. Mayor Sam Jones and City Council members Reggie Copeland and Gina Gregory announced that the City of Mobile will fund the matching portion of our $379,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Alabama Department of Transportation. The Village of Spring Hill will work with the City over the coming months to begin detailed engineering efforts and formally kick off the project. Stay tuned for additional updates on this exciting initiative. When we first formed The Village of Spring Hill this was the number one thing that residents said they wanted to see happen. We are proud to see this become a reality! September 2007 Sidewalk Update Neighborhood sidewalks down Old Shell Road from Spring Hill College to University Boulevard are in the initial stages of planning thanks to a $379,000 Transportation Enhancement Grant from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The structure of the grant requires a further commitment of matching funds and engineering costs for approximately $113,000 before the grant can be accepted by the City of Mobile and the work begun. Currently this additional funding is being sought to make the eagerly anticipated sidewalk project a reality for our community.

More sidewalks in Spring Hill were the number one priority of over 500 people who attended last year’s Village of Spring Hill annual meeting. At this year’s annual meeting, held March 13 at St Paul’s Moorer Theater, organization president Linda St. John reported a $379,000 Transportation Enhancement grant had been recently approved and is soon to be announced by the Governor’s Office. The grant will fund sidewalks on Old Shell Road from Spring Hill College to University Boulevard. Equally important was the announcement of a Comprehensive Community Grant awarded by The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. The grant will fund the development of comprehensive urban planning for the area as well as the subsequent early phases of implementation. Senator Hap Myers initiated the search for funds and guided the VSH organization through the application process. To make improvements to the intersection of Old Shell Road and McGregor Avenue, Council Member Gina Gregory has pledged over $200,000 from her District 7 budget. The sidewalk grant is the result of The Village of Spring Hill, Inc. arranging a meeting with Mayor Sam Jones and a group of people who could represent Spring Hill’s interest in sidewalks. Senator Hap Myers, Representative Jamie Ison, Commissioner Steven Nodine, and City Council Members Gina Gregory and Reggie Copeland joined the effort to get the City of Mobile to request the grant on behalf of the Spring Hill area. Other priorities addressed in the past year included the planting of more trees and the possible relocation of power lines at McGregor and Old Shell. To learn more about what’s been accomplished and what’s next, read the full text of Linda St. John’s speech. January 2007
The Village of Spring Hill members, volunteers from Keep Mobile Beautiful and the City of Mobile Parks Department teamed up to do the work. Young people from St. Paul’s, Spring Hill College, UMS-Wright and Wilmer Hall as well as other areas of the City turned out in great numbers to assist in the community effort. The trees were purchased by a grant from the Hearin Chandler Foundation which has for 25 years gifted hundreds of thousands of dollars to the City of Mobile and other organizations to fund tree planting throughout the City.

Up Day, co-sponsored by The Village of Spring Hill and Keep Mobile Beautiful.
Ninety-seven volunteers met at the top of Spring Hill on Saturday morning, Jan. 13, 2007, to plant 122 live oak trees which will further enhance the beautiful Oak canopy for which Spring Hill has always been known. The majority of trees were planted up Old Shell Road from I-65 to McGregor Avenue with the remainder going down Museum Drive leading to Langan Park.
