Resort Lifestyles Communities did not let the rain dampen a groundbreaking celebration.
The groundbreaking ceremony for Cahaba Ridge, a luxury retirement living community and the first RLC location in Alabama, was moved to nearby Altadena Valley Presbyterian Church due to Tuesday's rain.
Kelly Jo Hinrichs, Director of Marketing and Pre-Open Sales with Resort Lifestyles Communities welcomed Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce members and guests to the event and shared details about Cahaba Ridge.
Hinrichs said studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments would be available on a monthly contract at the three-story facility. She also said the facility would create 35-45 local jobs, and they will soon hold job fairs for those staff positions.
Cahaba Ridge's "all-inclusive" facility includes meals, planned activities, appointment transportation, an emergency call system and valet parking.
Hinrichs also discussed a community feature at the facility — a 125-seat theater. After a brief presentation over lunch attendees assembled for a large group picture to conclude the ceremony.
