A nonprofit group in Bessemer is hoping to create a new park built around a train depot.
The Bessemer Redevelopment Corps recently purchased the city’s train depot with the intent to make it a community and cultural hub.
The depot has been out of commission since it caught fire in 2017.
WIAT-TV reports backers of the idea are calling it the future Railroad Park of Bessemer.
They're also considering having a sustainable hydroponic garden to help offer food to residents in surrounding neighborhoods.
