Orange Beach, Ala. — (OBA) —  Orange Beach is taking a major step forward in local infrastructure and public safety as city leaders prepare to award a $458,990.52 contract to Arrington Curb & Excavation, Inc., for the 2026 Roadway Resurfacing Project. The agreement also includes unit pricing for the optional purchase and delivery of asphalt millings at $1.00 per cubic yard to support public works projects.

The joint regular and work session meeting is scheduled for this evening, Oct 06, 2026, at 5 PM in the Orange Beach City Hall Council Chambers.

Public safety upgrades are also front and center on the agenda. The council will vote on entering into a software service agreement with Magnet Forensics, LLC, to provide $18,315 in digital forensics licensing for the police department.

The meeting will also address several key local developments, including a public hearing on a conditional use approval for the expansion of All About Storage, as well as liquor license applications for Bottles Up Mobile’s upcoming "The Marshals Monster Mash" event at the Orange Beach Event Center and at The Salty Tile on Perdido Beach Boulevard.
