New bus stop in Atmore?

Mayor Howard Shell is looking for a location in town that may be willing to house a Greyhound bus stop he said during Monday’s city council meeting. Shell said he has been contacted by representatives from the bus line, which has not had a presence in town since their departure in 2005, and was told the company is interested in implementing a bus stop location in town. Shell said the stop would not be an official bus station and would not sell tickets, but we would be a place for people to “take a break, and get something to drink or a pack of crackers.” Shell said any business or resident with any interest in helping house the location should contact him at Atmore City Hall at (251) 368-2253.
In other business the council:
* Approved a safety and security ordinance for Atmore Municipal Airport.
* unanimously approved the appointment of Willie J. Grissett, Lisa Reynolds, Willie Hawthorne, Chapman Maxwell and Alfred Johnson to the newly formed Property Maintenance Board of Appeals. City code enforcement officer Chris Black said the board will be a way to “allow people an avenue to appeal when a structure has been condemned” and is a mandatory requirement following the adoption of the
International Property Maintenance Code approved by the board earlier in the year. Black said the board would only meet as needed.
* approved the demolition of two homes located at 163 and 171 Broad Street.
