Alexander City’s municipal government wants a drainage dispute with local businessman Kenneth Ledbetter to be water under the bridge.
Ledbetter owns 3 acres, a warehouse and machine shop at Central Avenue and Lee Street, near the former Russell Corp. Main Office, which is on property the city owns. In February, the city bought an additional 11.25 acres at the site from contractor Roy Granger for $275,000, basically to get it cleared of rubble from demolished Russell buildings.
