Construction begins on Bella Balle Condominiums in downtown Cullman

CULLMAN, Ala. – Construction has begun on Bella Balle Condominiums, a three-story development that will add four condominiums and ground-floor commercial space to downtown Cullman, according to the Cullman Economic Development Agency (CEDA). Stephen Gannon’s project is expected to take 12-14 months to complete. Susan Eller, CEDA’s retail and workforce development manager, provided the construction update following a groundbreaking for the building. Public real estate listings place the development at 208 Fourth St. SE, adjacent to Hele Bowls and 412 Public House, which Gannon owns. Plans call for commercial space on the first floor, with two condominiums on each of the second and third floors, Eller said. “One has already been sold to a local family,” she said in her written update. Eller did not identify the buyer or disclose the purchase price. Real estate listings provide additional details about the residential portion of the project. The advertised units have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with listed floor areas ranging from 1,983 to 2,040 square feet. Asking prices range from $649,900 to $699,900. Those figures are advertised prices, not confirmed sale prices. A listing dated Nov. 3 advertises Unit 2B, a 2,040-square-foot condominium, for $649,900. The listing provides another look

Planning Commission tables new 7 Brew site plan

CULLMAN, Ala. – The City of Cullman Planning Commission in August approved a short-form subdivision request for Murphy Oil USA. Back in May, the proposed site plan was approved, with contingencies from the city engineer relating to the Alabama Department of Transportation traffic and safety plan. At the Commission’s meeting on Monday, Nov. 2, an additional proposal for the site plan was discussed that would add a 7 Brew Coffee to the project at 800 Second Ave. NW. Two representatives from Brew Culture, LLC, 7 Brew Coffee’s corporate entity, addressed the Commission in an attempt to allay concerns about safety at the proposed new location. Commissioners said the area sees high traffic for numerous reasons, particularly, according to Commissioner Cheryl Harrison, because of nearby schools. She said the new location would add on to existing traffic congestion from school drop-off and pick-up times. Chairman Michael Sullins noted that while the project’s previous ALDOT contingencies were resolved, further resolution may be needed due to community safety concerns. Ultimately, the item was tabled until the Commission’s meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 1, 2026. The Commission did approve a site plan for an expansion at 1206 Sixth St. SW, located within Industrial Park 2.

Winter weather brings reminder of outdoor pet safety, Beau’s Law requirements

CULLMAN, Ala. – As colder temperatures make their way into north Alabama, pet owners are encouraged to take precautions to ensure animals kept outdoors have adequate shelter, warmth and protection from winter weather. With Alabama’s new Beau’s Law now in effect, providing proper care for outdoor dogs is not only a matter of responsible pet ownership but also a legal requirement. Beau’s Law, which took effect Oct. 1, 2026, establishes statewide standards for dogs kept outdoors, including requirements for shelter, food, water and tethering. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Garlan Gudger, R-Cullman, was inspired by a dog named Beau who gained statewide attention after being found chained outside during a snowstorm without adequate protection from the elements. Under the law, outdoor dogs must have access to shelter that protects them from rain, wind, snow and extreme temperatures. Shelters must be constructed from durable materials and include a solid floor, walls, a roof and an appropriate entrance that allows the animal to enter and exit freely. The structure must also be large enough for the dog to stand, turn around, lie down naturally and extend its limbs comfortably. Adequate ventilation, shade and protection from accumulated moisture are also required. While a
