City Council to Vote on Tax Abatements for BS Logistics America Expansion at Crawford Road

July 7, 2026 — Opelika, Alabama

The Opelika City Council is scheduled to vote on a resolution approving tax abatements and exemptions for BS Logistics America, LLC, which operates an existing facility at 1800 Crawford Road in Opelika. The company has announced plans for a major expansion to its existing building, including new construction and the acquisition of manufacturing machinery and equipment.

The total capital investment for the project is approximately $1.2 million. The expansion is expected to be placed in service by July 31, 2027, and is projected to create approximately 20 new jobs in the community. The public hearing and vote are scheduled during the regular council meeting at 6 p.m. at the Opelika Municipal Court Building, 300 Martin Luther King Boulevard.

Tax abatements provide qualifying companies temporary relief on non-educational property taxes, helping to attract and retain manufacturing and logistics investment in Opelika’s growing industrial sector.
