NEWS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Chris and April Edwards, the owners of Rainbow Paint and Decorating at 1450 Montgomery Highway, have started construction for an Ace Hardware store at 680 Old Town Road next to Chuck E. Cheese and plan to relocate their paint and decorating business inside that store. Their goal is to open in the first quarter of 2026, Chris Edwards said. The Ace Hardware store will be about 11,800 square feet, which is almost double the amount of space they have now at Rainbow Paint and Decorating, he said. Rainbow Paint and Decorating has existed at 1450 Montgomery Highway since about 1979 or 1980, Edwards said. He thinks he and his wife are the fourth owners of the business, and they purchased it about four years ago, he said. 205-822-3548

The Vestavia Hills City Council on Aug. 25 agreed to hire Doster Construction to serve as a construction manager for more than $30 million worth of projects. Most of the projects are slated to take place in Liberty Park over the next two to three years, City Manager Jeff Downes said. That includes the renovation and expansion of Fire Station No. 4, a satellite library facility, police operations center, a new public works and park maintenance building, demolition of the existing park maintenance building at the Liberty Park softball fields, reconfiguration of the back softball park entrance, and construction of an access road to reach the new library, police and park maintenance buildings. But Doster also will oversee the installation of a pool heater at the Vestavia Hills Aquatic Complex at Wald Park. The construction projects will be staggered to help the city spread out the costs. The fire station expansion, pool heater and access road are expected to come first in fiscal 2026, while the police facility, satellite library, maintenance building and new back entrance to the softball fields should happen in fiscal 2027, Downes said. Doster was one of six companies interviewed as a potential construction manager, he said. The company will be paid 1.75% of the total construction cost, which is estimated to be about $535,000, plus a minimum of $15,512 a month during the pre-construction phase and the hourly billing rates of supervisory personnel. 205-443-3800
