Local coverage
Project conversations across Mobile County and the central Gulf Coast.
Coverage depends on independent provider availability. Each linked page explains local housing and site context specific to that community.
Prichard
Developed north of downtown Mobile as an industrial, shipping-adjacent community in the early twentieth century, its older housing has undersized original troughs that overflow in Gulf Coast downpours.
Local planning notes →Saraland
Grown along Interstate 65 as a bedroom community from the 1950s and incorporated in 1957, its ranch rooflines shed large volumes across shallow pitches.
Local planning notes →Chickasaw
Built rapidly during World War II for Alabama Drydock shipyard workers, its uniform wartime housing shares one roof geometry and one drainage weakness.
Local planning notes →Semmes
Slower-growing and more rural in western Mobile County, its wooded lots fill troughs with pine debris faster than rainfall fills them.
Local planning notes →Theodore
On flat coastal-plain land near the delta industrial corridor, ground here drains slowly, so discharge has to be carried well away from the slab.
Local planning notes →Tillmans Corner
Grown as an unincorporated hub southwest of Mobile in the later twentieth century, its mixed housing ages mean profiles and outlet counts vary widely.
Local planning notes →Dauphin Island
A barrier island rebuilt more than once after direct hurricane strikes, where fastener corrosion and wind uplift govern every gutter detail.
Local planning notes →Bayou La Batre
A historic Gulf Coast fishing village long known as the Seafood Capital, where salt air shortens the life of coated steel far faster than inland.
