Fultondale, "A FRIENDLY CITY", welcomes you to our web site.  We encourage you to take a look around our site and see what all Fultondale has to offer.  Located just North of Birmingham off Interstate 65 and Highway 31, Fultondale is the first city North of Birmingham to offer shopping, restaurants, and accomodations in a beautiful country setting. 

Home to the Colonial Fultondale Promenade shopping center, you can shop at JC Penney, Best Buy, Target, Ross, and Ashley Furniture.  The Promenade is surrounded by several restaruants including Logans Roadhouse, Stix, Quizno's, Chili's, Arby's, Chick-fil-a, McDonald's, Burger King, Outback Steakhouse, O'Charley's, Zaxby's, Jacks, Hardee's and Full Moon Barbeque.  Other restaurants in the area include hometown favorites like Doodle's Cajun Cuisine and Hometown Sports Bar and Grill.

Friday morning (July 30, 2010) at the Fultondale Promenade Shopping Center, Mayor Jim Lowery unveiled the latest addition to Fultondale’s Public Safety Program. In the presence of local citizens, City Council Members and numerous members of the news media, the Mayor demonstrated the capabilities of the City’s Sky Watch Surveillance Tower. The Sky Watch Tower is a fully mobile police observation and command center.  Fultondale becomes only the third city in the State of Alabama to deploy a tower of this type. The Sky Watch Tower contains a manned command center that can be elevated to a height 28 feet above the ground where one or two officers have an unobstructed view of the surrounding area. At the officers’ disposal are two camera systems that contain a 360 degree daylight 30X Zoom camera capable of discerning a tag number at more than 1000 feet. Additionally, an infrared camera has night vision capabilities of 30X Zoom up to 1000 feet. A second camera system has motion tracking capabilities with 10X Zoom. Both camera systems can be manipulated by the officers in the tower to obtain the desired views and zoom settings. All camera systems are backed up to a digital archive system for future use, as needed. The Tower has also been equipped with a police band radio, a public address system and weather monitoring displays.

The Sky Watch Tower is totally self-contained and can be set for operation by a single officer within 15 minutes. It can be towed by a one ton-truck and operates on a built-in diesel engine or from a commercial power outlet. The tower has built-in heating and cooling systems to allow long term deployment of the system.

Eagle Fence Distributing, LLC is now officially open for business.  On Monday, July 26, 2010, Mayor Jim Lowery and the Fultondale City Council held an official ribbon cutting ceremony.
