HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — A long-awaited construction project in downtown Huntsville is now underway. Developers of the project say they are excited to see “dirt finally being moved.”
Front Row is a multi-million dollar mixed-use development being built on the former site of the Coca-Cola Bottling plant at the intersection of Clinton Avenue and Monroe Street. The site is directly across from the Von Braun Center.
The site has sat as an empty lot since the former bottling plant was closed in 2012 and then demolished in 2014. The closure of the bottling operation was truly the end of an era for downtown Huntsville as that plant operated at that site since the 1930’s.
