McCallaCan Meetings

Everyone is invited to attend meetings of the McCallaCan group. The group, facilitated by Phyllis Kennedy, was established in order to ensure a dialog between the McCalla community and representatives from Norfolk Southern regarding the intermodal facility the railroad is constructing in McCalla. Ms. Kennedy served the first five years of Governor Riley’s administration as the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations.

The latest Norfolk Southern Intermodal meeting took place at Moore's Cabin on Tuesday, January 12.

Among the presenters at the Jan. 12 meeting were Dr. Sam Addy, Director of the Center for Business and Economic Research at the University of Alabama, and Lee Cochran, Manager of Norfolk Southern’s Intermodal Development.
