Atmore, Mobile To Share $4.8 Million Economic Development Grant
September 7, 2016
Mobile and Atmore will share in $4.8 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA) to support local manufacturing efforts.
Announced during an event in Mobile with Atmore Mayor Jim Staff and Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bill Sisson, the grants will facilitate the construction of a roadway project in Atmore and begin renovations to a building in Mobile for use as a business incubator.
“Manufacturing fuels the world’s most innovative economy and has helped build the American middle class,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Erskine. “These EDA investments in Alabama will help to establish and grow manufacturing firms in the Mobile region, and bring a new aerospace manufacturing facility to Atmore.”
The EDA investments announced today are:
- The city of Atmore will receive a $1.9 million grant to construct an industrial access road that will serve a new aerospace manufacturing facility that will be located in the Rivercane Industrial Park development. This grant will support critical job creation and investment in Atmore, a city that has experienced recent job loss and worker displacement from the loss of two major employers. According to grantee estimates, this investment is expected to create 116 jobs and generate $114 million in private investment.
- The Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce will receive a $2.9 million grant to renovate and modernize the former Threaded Fasteners building to house Innovation PortAL, a business incubator that will support economic diversification in this designated manufacturing region. Innovation PortAL will provide access to intense mentoring services, investment capital, investing networks, and a highly educated and skilled workforce to support local entrepreneurs and businesses.

Dorothy Marie Gindl Lambert Casey
September 7, 2016
Dorothy Marie Gindl Lambert Casey was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, nurse and community spitfire. Dorothy passed away on September 4, 2016, at the age of 95 in Cantonment.
She was preceded in death by her first husband, Louis Lambert in 1970 and was blessed to find love again with her second husband, Charles Casey, who passed away in 2012.
She is survived by her son, Skip Lambert (June); daughter, Brenda Sowinski (Jim); grandsons, Chad Lambert (Janet) and Kevin Lambert (Susan); granddaughters, Bridget Davidson (Bob) and Julie Jenkins (Brandon); grandson, Brian Sowinski (Amy), and eight great-grandchildren. She is also survived by her brother, Frances Gindl; and her sisters, Mildred Anderson and Mary Pembroke.
Dorothy was born on June 12, 1921, in Barrineau Park. She lived in the Barrineau Park area almost all of her life. Dorothy was a Registered Nurse who worked for private physicians before taking a position at the St. Regis Paper Company. She retired in 1986 from the Champion Paper Company after 35 years of employment.
She has been a driving force for improvement and development of the area. Dorothy never said I won’t or I can’t. She is a founding member of Barrineau Park Historical Society, served as secretary of International Paper Company retirees. She has managed and maintained the Barrineau Park Colony Cemetery. Because of her nursing profession, she has been the community nurse. She did not ask for the job, it just seemed the right thing to do. She never turned anyone away who needed help. She made herself available morning, noon, and night. Most of us will always remember driving by in our cars to see her picking up trash along the highway and encouraging others to take pride in their community. If you truly want to honor Dorothy’s memory, keep your community beautiful by picking up trash along the highway.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Barrineau Park Colony Cemetery Fund, P.O Box 685, Cantonment, FL 32533, the Barrineau Park Historical Society, P.O Box 508, Molino, FL 32577, or the St. Elizabeth Church Hall Remodeling Fund, 303 Rocky Avenue, Cantonment, FL 32533.
