Dothan, Ala. (WDNews) — The City of Dothan announced that Construction Partners, Inc. will build a new corporate headquarters and data processing center in the city, bringing new investment and jobs to the Wiregrass region.
Construction Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROAD), a civil infrastructure company specializing in roadway construction and maintenance throughout the Sunbelt, plans to invest $20 million in the new facility.
City officials say the project is expected to create more than 60 new professional jobs, adding to the company’s nearly 50 employees already working in the area. The facility will consolidate executive leadership, administrative functions, and technology operations into a modern headquarters designed to support the company’s continued growth and efficiency.
Founded in Dothan in 2001, Construction Partners has grown from a local contractor into a publicly traded company with annual revenues of about $3.5 billion and operations across several Sunbelt states. Despite its growth, the company has kept its corporate headquarters in Dothan.
“Construction Partners is a true hometown success story, and this investment demonstrates their continued confidence in Dothan,” said Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba and Houston County Commission Chairman Brandon Shoupe. “We are proud that a company founded here has chosen to grow its headquarters here. The addition of professional jobs and a state-of-the-art facility further strengthens our local economy and reinforces Dothan’s position as a regional business and innovation hub.”
The new headquarters will also include a centralized data processing center that will serve Construction Partners’ operating companies across eight states, reflecting the company’s continued investment in technology, data security, and operational efficiency.
“For nearly 25 years, Dothan has been the home of Construction Partners,” said Ned N. Fleming III, executive chairman of Construction Partners, Inc. “From our founding in 2001 to our growth as a publicly traded company, our headquarters has remained in Dothan. This community has supported our success at every stage, and this new investment reaffirms our long-term commitment to the city that has always been our home.”
Charles E. Owens, vice chairman of Construction Partners, Inc., said maintaining the company’s headquarters in its founding city remains a priority.
“Dothan is where Construction Partners was built, and it remains the center of our leadership and strategic direction,” Owens said. “As we continue expanding across the Southeast, maintaining and enhancing our headquarters here reflects our deep roots in this community and our confidence in its workforce, leadership, and future.”
State leaders also praised the announcement as an example of homegrown economic development in Southeast Alabama.
“This announcement highlights the strength of Southeast Alabama’s business climate,” said State Sen. Donnie Chesteen. “A company founded in Dothan choosing to expand its headquarters here speaks volumes about the region’s workforce and leadership.”
State Rep. Steve Clouse said the project reflects both economic growth and confidence in the area.
“Construction Partners has played a vital role in building Alabama’s infrastructure, and this new headquarters represents an investment not only in their future, but in Dothan’s as well. These types of jobs and this level of capital investment are exactly what we want to see in our communities,” Clouse said.
Construction on the new headquarters is expected to begin soon as the company continues expanding operations across the Sunbelt region.
