The Chilton County Commission voted to add to the work session agenda scheduled for Feb. 6 at 5:30 p.m., the possibility of purchasing a new incinerator for the Chilton County Humane Society.

Humane Society director Jessica Terry approached commissioners on Monday about purchasing a new incinerator due to the current incinerator requiring repairs.

Commission Chairman Allen Caton said commissioners could look at different options regarding a replacement.

Commissioner Shannon Welch made a motion to add the discussion of possibly purchasing a new incinerator to the agenda with Terry asked to attend the meeting.

Commissioners unanimously voted in favor to add the item to the work session agenda.

Commissioners also heard from Will Brooke, who is a candidate for the Sixth Congressional District.

Brooke said he had been visiting in Clanton on Monday and wanted to come by and meet the commissioners.

“I look forward to getting to know you and the folks in Chilton County,” Brooke said.

Industrial Development Coordinator Fred Crawford spoke to the commission about the announcement that Chilton County received its first Alabama AdvantageSite designation Jan. 22.

The AdvantageSite program requires that community economic development organizations provide documentation specific to a proposed industrial site, including a set of standard data related to ownership/control, environmental and geotechnical conditions and infrastructure status.

Sites must also meet size, zoning and accessibility requirements.

The 64.5 acre site is located in the unincorporated part of Chilton County, south of Clanton.

The site is accessible from I-65 via County Road 59, which is a two-lane paved road.

Crawford told commissioners that from the county standpoint, this should be something they could be “very proud of.”

Crawford reminded commissioners they were invited to an Industry Appreciation Night on Tuesday at the Clanton Performing Arts Center at Jefferson State Community College’s Chilton-Clanton Campus.

The event was to say “thank you” to the industries that risk their capital and come up with plans to market and produce goods throughout the county.

Due to a winter storm bringing ice and snow to the county on Tuesday, the event was postponed with a tentative date set for Feb. 11.
