Clift Farm fee drawing attention By Eric Graves | March 16, 2021 at 7:22 AM CDT - Updated March 16 at 7:22 AM
MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WAFF) - Customers at any of the new restaurants on the Clift Farm development may notice an extra charge on their receipt: a 3% development fee.
Joey Ceci, spokesperson for Breland Companies, said this fee is at all of the businesses on Clift Farm, except for the Publix. He said the money goes toward the public infrastructure projects on the development.
Ceci said they’ve spent more than $20 million so far on projects like widening Highway 72, intersection improvements on Balch Rd. and various sewer and water projects.

Getting it open, however, is the problem and it basically comes down to money.
Money is being lost at Town Madison and, in turn, the city of Madison without the ramp and there is the lack of money to begin work on the westbound interchange that the Alabama Department of Transportation said is required to open the eastbound interchange.
