Construction has begun on a Holiday Inn Express. It will be near the hospital and right behind the Hampton Inn that is in the background. A decade ago, this area to the west of town was in trees, but now it has a farmers' co-op, big truck stop, medical offices, new YMCA, health department, Human Resources and other government agencies. Many of them moved from downtown to the "suburbs." Now, I hear that Selma is getting a Zaxbys.
