Realty co. says new shopping center coming to Prattville

 

PRATTVILLE, AL (WSFA) - A national real estate development corporation based in Tennessee says it will soon bring a new shopping center to Prattville, locating the project just off Interstate 65 on Cobbs Ford Road.

GBT Realty Corporation is promising to bring businesses like Starbucks, Aspen Dental, and Firehouse Subs to the plan it is calling "Cobbs Ford Village".

Prattville Mayor Bill Gillespie says the company's plans are very preliminary and he could not provide any specifics. Gillespie said no plans have come across his desk as mayor and he hasn't dealt with it in his role on the city's planning commission.

New tornado app brings Red Cross safety information to mobile devices

The American Red Cross has launched its official Tornado App. The app puts lifesaving information right in the hands of people who live in, visit, or have loved ones in tornado-prone areas.

This free app—available in English or Spanish—gives iPhone, iPad and Android smart phone and tablet users instant access to local and real-time information, so they know what to do before, during and after a tornado. The app includes a high-pitched siren and “tornado warning!” alert that signals people when a NOAA tornado warning has been issued in their area – even if the app is closed. An “all clear!” alert lets users know when a tornado warning has expired or has been cancelled.

“Tornadoes often happen in the overnight hours when people are sleeping,” said Billy Baxter, Executive Officer for the Alabama Region.
