Mobile, ALMobile County

Marina Subdivision Lots

Lot 6 (2+/- Acres) Offered For $125,000

Lots 1 & 3 (20 +/- Acres) Offered For $390,000

These two properties are located in the Mobile Tensaw River Delta. The properties, a 20 +/-acre tract zoned for residential or commercial, and a 2 +/- acre tract zoned as residential, are adjacent to the W.L. Holland Wildlife Management area and the Mobile County River Delta Marina and campgrounds. The properties can be easily seen and accessed from I-65 on Dead Lake Marina Road (service road along I-65 North). The 20 +/- acre property could be developed as a campground and marina or with vacation cottages with over 755 feet of water frontage, while the 2 +/- acre property makes for a great home site with approximately 138 feet of water frontage on Dead Lake.

Frontage on Dead Lake affords endless travel opportunities with the ability to travel by water to 38 different states, Canada, or the Gulf of Mexico. There are approximately 100,000 miles of rivers and streams in the Delta. This delta is the 2nd largest in the United States. Since the majority of the land in this area is controlled by the Dept. of Conservation, there is very little left for development. The wetlands have been delineated and water, power and soon sewer will be available.

Benefiting from abundant natural resources, a diversified work force, and a prime location, Mobile enjoyed steady economic expansion throughout the twentieth century. Since 1990 the city has had its healthiest economy in decades, based on factors such as tax revenue, Port of Mobile tonnage, total employment, and residential sales.

The expanding economy in Mobile County is due to Mobile's Alabama State Docks undergoing its largest expansion in history by increasing its container processing and storage facility and increasing container storage at the docks by over 1,000%. As of 2006, the Port of Mobile was the 10th largest by tonnage in the United States.

In 2005 Austal USA, based in Mobile, expanded their production facility for US defense and commercial aluminum shipbuilding. In 2007 German steel manufacturer ThyssenKrup announced plans for a $3.7 billion steel mill. The new plant is currently under construction in northern Mobile County. Company officials state that 2,700 permanent jobs will be added to the local economy.

Four new factories will ultimately be built in the United States to support the Northrop Grumman KC-45A program. Northrop Grumman and its primary subcontractor EADS will each build one manufacturing facility in Mobile, Ala., creating more that 1,500 direct new jobs.
