E-mail our News Staff . Now it's finally here. Calera has stood patiently in line to be the next Shelby County city to see a residential and commercial growth boom.
City officials say they are ready for it.
I haven't heard any negative feedback. The new 184,000 square foot Walmart Supercenter that will employ 350 to 400 people just off the interstate in Calera is expected to open in the latter part of June. Next to the Walmart, a new shopping center called Calera Crossings was recently announced. The outlet mall will consist of 14 stores including Radio Shack, Golden Rule BBQ, Sharp Carpet and McDonalds. Mayor Roy said work has begun on the new 18-hole Calera golf course on Shelby County Road 25.
