Governor Kay Ivey And Commissioner Chris Blankenship Set To Cut Ribbon On New Demopolis City Landing
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Participation in angling has hit new highs in recent years, and the City of Demopolis, Ala., is ready to host tournaments of all sizes on the Tombigbee and Black Warrior rivers. The new Demopolis City Landing has officially opened for use after a $3 million investment into the Demopolis City Landing made possible by a partnership between the Alabama Department of Conservation & Natural Resources, the City of Demopolis and Marengo County.
MEDIThe updated facility features new boat launches, parking and docks. Alabama Power Company and B.A.S.S. continued their longstanding partnership by helping local partners with a new and improved pavilion that will offer a much-needed place for organizations to hold their weigh-ins, from local bass clubs to the largest tournaments.
