Birmingham-based KultureCity, a non-profit that provides services to assist those with sensory processing disorders, has purchased the Powell Avenue Steam Plant, an historic Birmingham landmark.

KultureCity sees it as a space for the City of Birmingham. “That would include a water play area, which the city doesn’t have,” Maha said. “A place for an inclusive playground. On top of that, also developing an amphitheater to push the boundaries of accessibility.”

“We also envision that front space being used as a common area where we can hold events, Christmas markets, Fourth of July events. Imagine a New Year’s Eve party where you’ve got those two beautiful spires, the smoke stacks, that can be used for ball drops.
