CLAY – Clay City Manager Ronnie Dixon told the city council at Tuesday night’s council meeting that the Publix located at 5150 Old Springville Road in Clay will soon be undertaking a $600,000+ renovation.
“If you remember four years ago – it will be five when they finish – (Publix) did a renovation,” Dixon said. “So, they brought the plans in about three weeks ago to do another renovation. … It’s going to be a north-of-$600,000 renovation … so you’ll see a major renovation going on at Publix.”
Dixon also updated the council on the status of the Cosby Lake dredging project, which has had the lake closed to the public since July 2020. The dredging was originally scheduled to be completed by October 2020, but was delayed due to Hurricane Sally and other factors.
