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.

Flourish of Cullman launches ‘Rights in Real Life’ series
CULLMAN, Ala. – In October, local nonprofit Flourish of Cullman launched its online series “Rights in Real Life.” Founder and CEO Melissa Dew told the Tribune the series prompts readers to step into the shoes of those with differing disabilities. Each story ends with, “What would you do?” The question, while simple, has a deeper meaning for Flourish and represents why the nonprofit exists. Dew said asking the question, “What would you do?” helps those with differing abilities have a voice, make choices and be included in everyday life. “As part of our Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) accreditation process, we received a recommendation to provide education on individual rights. That helped spark the idea for a series that makes those rights relatable through everyday situations and invites the community into the conversation,” she explained. “Words like ‘dignity,’ ‘independence’ and ‘inclusion’ matter, but stories help us see what those words look like in practice. Sometimes something as simple as assuming someone would not enjoy an outing means they never get the opportunity to decide for themselves. We want readers to pause, consider whose voice is missing and think about how they might respond.” As far as the transparency
