OCI Alabama’s new industrial site in Decatur

A $3 million building permit was issued for part of a large industrial site in Decatur last week. The project, proposed by Big D Construction and owned by OCI Alabama LLC, spans 39.62 acres and is designated for general industrial use.

The project includes a new warehouse, silos, expanded railyard and buildings and installation of unloading equipment and a packaging system.

The City of Decatur approved the project in July with no conditions, meaning the project can proceed without additional requirements.

Any necessary utility relocation will be the responsibility of the owner and must be completed before construction begins.
