🌳 Magnolia Springs in the spotlight! 💚

A big thank you to the Baldwin Alliance for highlighting Magnolia Springs and some of the exciting projects happening in our community!

We’re proud of the progress being made while continuing to preserve the character that makes Magnolia Springs such a special place to call home.

Municipality Highlight: Magnolia Springs 🌳

Economic development is about creating opportunities for business growth while also increasing the quality of life for residents.

The Town of Magnolia Springs is doing both with several exciting projects taking shape, including a future Greer’s Market, a new Town Center, and efforts to restore the springs that inspired the town’s name.

The future Magnolia Springs Town Center will create a walkable destination for locally owned shops, restaurants, and community gathering spaces, adding new opportunities for residents, visitors, and small businesses alike.

We’re excited to see these community investments come to life and contribute to the continued growth of Magnolia Springs and Baldwin County.

Check out this article from Mobile Baykeeper about the Magnolia River Water Watch team and their efforts to protect the Magnolia River! We're proud of the dedicated volunteers who regularly monitor the river's quality to protect this special resource!

There is only one town in the United States that receives its mail year-round by boat. So, it’s easy to grasp the appreciation the Magnolia Springs community has for its waterway. The postal practice dates back to 1916 and is still going strong more than a 100 years later, except now it’s done with a tiller outboard on an aluminum Jon boat loaded with crates of stamped mail, idling along the mailboxes perched on the docks.

Robert Turner has been residing in Magnolia Springs for more than 32 years. He’s served on the town council for the past five years. Turner had seen the Baykeeper SWIM reports and had attended a neighboring Wolf Bay Water Watch meeting. “Baykeeper drew my attention to the testing aspect,” he says, “and I knew of other water-watch groups, so I decided I wanted to get involved and keep an eye on our own watershed.”

That decision led Turner to resurrect the “Magnolia River Alabama Water Watch” organization, a group that had not been in operation for roughly 15 years.
