North Jefferson County could be at the beginning of a big growth spurt [Video]

NEWS AT SIX STARTS NOW. GOOD EVENING AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US AT SIX. IM SHERI FALK IM GUY RAWLINGS SEVERAL NEW AND UPCOMING PROJECTS COULD SPARK MAJOR GROWTH IN NORTH JEFFERSON COUNTY. ONE COMMUNITY ALREADY FEELING SOME ECONOMIC IMPACT WITH A NEW PARK DRAWING VISITORS FROM AROUND THE STATE AND THE REGION. WVTM 13 LISA CRANE IS LIVE AND LOCAL IN GARDENDALE TONIGHT. AND LISA, IT LOOKS LIKE A FUN PARK BEHIND YOU. YEAH, IT REALLY IS. THIS IS BILL NOBLE PARK. ITS BEEN OPEN ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF NOW, AND IF YOU LOOK BEHIND ME, THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE PLAY AREAS. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE COOL EQUIPMENT THATS THERE TO ENTERTAIN THE KIDS. BUT IF YOU LOOK OVER HERE, THIS IS ONE OF THE NINE BALL FIELDS HERE THAT ON THE WEEKENDS ACTUALLY HOSTS TRAVEL BALL TOURNAMENTS. AND THAT TURNS THIS COMMUNITY ATTRACTION INTO AN ECONOMIC ENGINE. THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE PLAY AREAS AT BILL NOBLE PARK IN GARDENDALE GAI. WE REALLY LIKE IT. THERES A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS FOR THE KIDS TO DO. STUFF FOR, FOR LITTLE CONNOR HERE, ALL THE WAY UP TO OUR FOUR YEAR OLD. MAYOR STAN HOAGLAND SAYS THE PARK WAS BUILT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND ITS RESIDENTS, BUT IT ALSO SERVES ANOTHER PURPOSE, HE SAYS. TRAVEL BALL TOURNAMENTS HERE ON THE WEEKENDS HAVE GENERATED MORE THAN $5 MILLION IN ECONOMIC IMPACT FOR THE CITY. THOSE HAVE HELPED US ATTRACT HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS THAT YOU YOU ALWAYS HEAR THE SAYING, YOU KNOW, IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME. WELL, BILL NOBLE PARK IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THAT. THE PROPOSED NORTHERN BELTLINE WILL BRING MORE TRAFFIC TO THE AREA. A NEW LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PARK ON BARBER BOULEVARD IN THE OLIVE MORRIS AREA WILL CREATE JOBS THAT WILL MEAN MORE PEOPLE WILL MOVE TO THE AREA AND AN AGRICULTURE CENTER AT HALLMARK FARMS AND WARRIOR WILL BE ANOTHER ATTRACTION TO PULL PEOPLE TO NORTH JEFFERSON COUNTY. THE AG CENTER WILL BRING A DIFFERENT ELEMENT OF TOURISM AND THINGS THAT WILL BRING TO THAT. EVERYBODYS GOING TO NEED A HOTEL TO STAY IN, A PLACE TO EAT. AND AND WERE VERY CONVENIENT. WERE KIND OF RIGHT HERE IN THE MIDDLE NORTH JEFFERSON COUNTY COULD LOOK VERY DIFFERENT IN THE NEXT DECADE, BUT FOR NOW, GARDENDALE RESIDENTS ARE JUST ENJOYING THEIR NEW PARK. EVERYTHING SPREAD OUT. THE KIDS HAVE PLENTY ENOUGH ROOM TO RUN AND PLAY AND GET ALL THEIR WIGGLES OUT, AND THEN WE TAKE THEM HOME AND PUT THEM TO BED. GET ALL THE WIGGLES OUT NOW. RIGHT NOW THERE ARE THREE HOTELS IN GARDENDALE. THE MAYOR SAYS TWO MORE HAVE BEEN APPROVED TO BE BUILT. ONE OF THEM RIGHT HERE NEXT TO THE PARK. AND AS THE AGRICULTURE CENTER GETS CLOSER TO BECOMING A REALITY. WELL MOST LIKELY SEE MORE HOTELS GOING UP IN THAT AREA NEAR THAT ATTRACTION. AS WE GET CLOSER TO THAT.

‘Hope’ on the minds of many Patriots fans following Drake Maye’s performance during Sunday’s game [Video]

Hope was on the minds of many Patriots fans after watching Drake Maye start as quarterback for the first time last Sunday.”I think it was a great showing out there,” Patriots fan Matt Pare said. “Unfortunately, it was still a loss, but it gives you hope for the future.”Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, was selected over Jacoby Brissett to be the starting quarterback for the Patriots ahead of last Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.”I think he’s better than Brissett,” Patriots fan Chris Skelley said. “I think he’s going to bring us home another ring. I think he’s the next ‘one”.In his first NFL start, Maye completed 20 of 33 passes for 243 yards and three touchdowns, but at two interceptions and a fumble.”I’m excited,” Patriots fan Ryan McHugh said. “I think he’s a great player. I think if we develop around him, we’ll be a good team. So, hopefully, it’ll come in the near future.”Following the game on Sunday, Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo was also optimistic about his rookie quarterback.”I thought Drake made some good decisions out there,” Mayo said. “I thought he had some good reads. I thought he tried to get the ball out of his hands, and I thought he did a good job extending plays with his legs and picking up first downs.”Although last Sunday’s game ended in a 41-21 loss for the Patriots and there is a lot of improvement needed in other positions, for many fans, it was the best performance they had seen from the team all season.”That’s the main reason I was excited to get to go because I got to watch Drake Maye’s first start. I was so excited for that game,” said Jesse Nease, who is visiting from Tennessee and was at Sunday’s game. “As soon as he gets a team around him, an offensive line, some receivers, I think he’s going to be the real deal.”The Patriots head to London to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday.
