Overview
- The Homewood City Council approved ordinance changes to expand parking and retail at Brookwood Village to support the incoming Andrews facility.
- The council also voted 5–0 to rezone two parcels into two lots, allowing medical and office space plus additional parking, according to AL.com.
- Developers say construction is slated to begin in April 2026, while the mayor has indicated preliminary work could start quickly once final steps are cleared.
- Plans call for converting former shopping levels into parking; officials have described roughly 30,000–35,000 square feet of space, with the mayor referencing about 36 operating rooms pending final design.
- The project is pitched as a revitalization of the largely vacant mall site on Lakeshore Parkway, where the last tenant closed nearly a year ago, with expected benefits for Homewood and the wider county.
