The Piedmont Housing Authority was created in our city in March of 1952 when a group of businessmen decided there was a need for low income housing in our city. All Housing Authorities were created by Alabama Law called enabling legislation that exempts them from prop-erty tax. But this same provision allows for all housing agencies to pay to the city “PILOT” Payment in Lieu of Taxes that is paid each year based on the shel-tered rent minus utility cost and verified by auditors and HUD each year.

The Piedmont Housing Authority administers 211 units of low income housing and 50 units of Section 8 Voucher assisted housing known as Piedmont Manor Homes and has man-aged the Piedmont Manor Homes since they were constructed in 1980. The Housing Authority is responsible for the management of 261 total units.

Keith Word serves as the third Executive Director for the Housing Authority where he has served for almost 22 years. His office and maintenance staff which con-sist of eight full time and one part time has a total of 101 years of combined ser-vice. The Piedmont Housing Authority has administered over 20 million dollars since 1989. There have been over 8 mil-lion dollars in modernization funding alone which remodeled the apartments to today’s present market conditions. The Piedmont Housing Authority for-merly administered the Public Housing Drug Elimination Program (PHDEP) from 1990 until 2003 when Congress eliminated the program.

After months of planning, organizing and 20 years worth of saving money and waiting for this one particular moment, the Piedmont Housing Authority finally cut the ribbon on its new office at 170 Craig Avenue in a ceremony on August 19, 2009 where United States Congressman Mike Rogers presided over the ribbon cutting ceremony.

According to Word, the organization continually saved money for a 20-year period to cover costs of constructing the

5,700 square foot building. The Piedmont Housing Authority has

won many awards during the past twen-ty one years including: 1990 NAHRO Public Housing Manager (PHM) Certification to Keith Word; NAHRO Award of Merit for Project Care 1992; NAHRO Award for Public Relations 1993; SERC-NAHRO Award for Human Services 1993; AAHRA Award for Public Relations 1993; NAHRO Resident Services Award 1994; SERC-NAHRO Award for the Drug Fighting Back Program 1994; HUD High Performer Award 1994 & 1997; AAHRA Best Practices Award for A-Team for 1997; AAHRA Presidential Award of Honor to Keith Word 1997, 2003, 2005, 2007, & 2009;; AAHRA Best Practices Award for A-Team 2003; AAHRA Best Practices Award for Project Detail 2004; Alabama Public Housing Director’s Association Past President’s Award to Keith Word 2005; City of Piedmont Citizen Award of Appreciation for 2006; Executive Director Education Program Graduate Keith Word from Rutgers, The University of New Jersey 2008; AAHRA Best Practices Award for 2009; Alabama Public Housing Director’s Association Presidential Award of Honor to Keith Word for 2009; Alabama League of Municipality Gold Awards for 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, & 2010; AAHRA Best Newsletter Award for 2010; Five employees and one Commissioner from the Piedmont Housing Authority includ-ing Pam Coogler, Sheila Hill, Larry Evans, Donald Thompson, and Johnny Minton and Chairman of the Board Walter Prater have been recognized by AAHRA as the best in the state. Three students who reside in the housing com-munities have received scholarships from the Alabama Housing Association with another one approved to be award-ed in June 2011 at the annual Statewide Housing Convention; Alabama Housing Association Risk Management Advisory Board Member Award of

Appreciation to Keith Word 2010; Piedmont Disabled American Veterans Chapter #21 Honorary Membership to Keith Word 2010; Our Deputy Director, Mrs. Sheila Hill was recently recognized as “Administrative Professional of the Year” by the Calhoun County Chamber of Commerce in 2008.

The Piedmont Housing Authority celebrated 50 years of service to the Piedmont community in March 2002. The Housing Authority currently recog-nizes our students who reside in housing who make honor roll or perfect atten-dance each nine week period with a party at the Piedmont McDonalds (David & Merry Neisler, Owners) who partner with the local Housing Authority. The

Piedmont Housing Authority has part-nerships with Piedmont City Schools, the City of Piedmont, the Piedmont Parks & Recreation Department, Calhoun County Department of Human Resources, Calhoun County RSVP, and the Community Action Agency of TCRCC Counties. The Piedmont Housing Authority does more than just rent brick buildings. They are involved in their community, their county, and their state. The Housing Authority has made many, many contributions to the Piedmont Community for almost 60 years. The Piedmont Housing Authority will celebrate its 60th anniversary in March 2012 and plans for that ceremony are being considered now.

Piedmont Health Care Center

For more than 30 years Piedmont Health Care Center, the award-win-ning long-term healthcare and rehabilitation center located at 31 Roundtree Drive, has cared for the people of our community. Operated by Preferred Health Services, the cen-ter has grown from a 31 bed nursing home to a 91 bed health care center with specialty units for dementia and rehabilita-tion/physical therapy in its new $3.6 million facil-ity. The facility originally opened in 1957 as a hos-pital, adding a 31-bed nursing home six years later. The hospital closed in 1991 and in 1992 Preferred Health Services took over management of the nursing home. Piedmont Health care is

now situated on 10 acres in the foothills of the Appalachians Mountains. The center has a gorgeous view of the nearby moun-tains and residents often enjoy going for walks outside to look at the natural beauty surround-ing the 47,749 square foot facility. The new dementia unit, which opened in 2001, gives residents with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia a safe, special-ized place to call home. A dedicated staff, all trained specifically to care for people with dementia, take pride in caring for the 18 residents in the unit. The dementia unit is a point of pride for the center, and the added dimension of care it pro-vides residents with those special needs helps make

Piedmont Health Care the place it is. A physician is on call 24 hours and the center offers both private and semi-private rooms. Medicare and Medicaid certified. Piedmont Health Care provides therapeu-tic diets and on-sight physical, occupational and speech therapy services. The licensed, professional staff keeps residents active by involving them in planned activities and scheduled entertainment. President of Preferred Health Services is Jerry Culberson.

City of Piedmont

“Home of the Chief Ladiga Trail”

www.piedmontcity.org

Sitting at the foot of the Appalachian Mountain range and surrounded by wet-lands, streams, forest and farmland, Piedmont is the kind of community that invites you outdoors. The area now known as Piedmont began in the early 1840’s, located at the crossroads of two early post roads.

Tradition has it that a hollow stump was used by the mailman to deposit and pick up the mail. This point received the official name of “Hollow Stump.” Later a registered post office named “Griffen’s Creek” was established by the Postmaster General.

Major Jacob Forney Dailey of North Carolina came to Alabama in 1848 and bought land from the Prices family. History states the Prices were believed to be the first landowners in Piedmont. Major Dailey named the area Cross Plains. An official post-office was named Cross Plains on Sep. 22, 1851. For a few months the office was discontinued in 1869. In 1870, the name was changed to “Patona,” but on June 7, 1870, the name was changed back to Cross Plains. The name Patona was found to be most undesirable.

On July 30, 1888, the Postal Department renamed the office Piedmont. The name Piedmont—meaning “Foot of the Mountains”—was pleasing to the people who enjoyed being nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain range sur-rounded by the scenic beauty of mountains and streams.

Piedmont is also home to the Chief Ladiga Trail, part of the Rails to Trails pro-gram that converted the former Seaboard/CSX railroad into a recreational bike and walking trail. The Chief Ladiga has become a major tourist attraction drawing visi-tors from around the world to Piedmont to enjoy the family-oriented pathway that cuts through the beautiful scenery and connects to Georgia’s Silver Comet Trail strechtching nearly 100 miles from Anniston to Atlanta. It is the longest paved trail in the United States.

Piedmont is also home to the Cheaha Challenge bicycle race, which this year brought nearly 1,000 cyclists to take part in the grueling 102-mile race that sends riders through town and up into the steep hills of the Talladega National Forest. An additional

Foothills Classic road race for pro cyclists takes place after the Cheaha.

The kids come first in Piedmont. You’ll hear that statement often around town, and for good reason. U.S. News and World Report ranks Piedmont City Schools as among the best in the nation. Students at Piedmont Elementary, Middle and High School consistently score above average on state mandated Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) tests, and the school system as a whole has made its AYP goals each year since the testing began.

The Piedmont High School Wrestling Team brought home the first State Championship in school history in 2009 by winning the AHSAA 1A-4A State Wrestling Championship. The Bulldogs, under Head Coach Harley Lamey, went undefeated in Dual Meets with a 14-0 record.

Again in 2009 the Piedmont High school football team brought home the AHSAA Class 3A State Championship defeating the Cordova Blue Devils in Bryant-Denney Stadium on the campus of The University of Alabama. Head Coach Steve Smith guided the Bulldogs to a 35-28 win in the first high school championship game played inside the Bryant-Denney Stadium.

Come visit Piedmont and you will find an inviting community rich in tradition, sur-rounded by the natural beauty of Northern Alabama and a perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
