Loxley Becomes A City

LOXLEY, Ala. — Fast-growing Loxley is officially a city, FOX10 reported. A ribbon was cut last week to celebrate the former town. Mayor Richard Teal said with Loxley now a city, he anticipates more businesses and restaurants and improvements to streets and parks. “There won’t be any more taxes passed along to you just because we are moving from a town to a city,” he said. “I think it’ll be a positive because we will have more opportunities for businesses here.” He added that, in the past year, Loxley has grown nearly 130%.
