Three years ago the mayor’s proposal was shot down, falling short by one vote.
, falling short by one vote.As of now, there’s no approved annexation plan from the city council, and there isn’t a timeline of when there will be.Hopes to expand the city of Mobile have been on Freddy Wheeler’s agenda since 2019, so he can have a voice in the Port City.
“We always had seen it as a win-win for both the people in west Mobile and the people in the city,” Wheeler said. “At the time it was because the city had pulled EMS coverage from this area and we still had police and fire, but we felt like we needed that extra EMS coverage.” The areas that were under consideration for annexation were west of Schillinger Road, areas along Airport Boulevard past Snow Road, and the king’s brand area along Bear Fork Road.
Growing Mobile to a population of over 200,000 could open the door for new resources not currently available as the city sits right under 190,000 people.
