Officials gathered to mark the grand opening of a new 25,000-square-foot warehouse at the Port Birmingham terminal — a milestone development poised to significantly elevate the storage and logistics capabilities of Alabama’s inland waterway system.

Purpose-built to handle cold rolled steel coils, the facility brings a new level of efficiency and throughput to Port Birmingham on the Warrior River, reinforcing its strategic role as a logistics and manufacturing hub in central Alabama.

“This groundbreaking initiative represents a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to bolster the economic vitality of Birmingham and Jefferson County,” said David Russell Jr., executive director of the Birmingham Jefferson County Port Authority (BJCPA). “Through strategic partnerships and innovative investments in infrastructure, we are poised to unlock new opportunities for growth and prosperity within our community.”
