Inspiration Landing is Elkington's Most Advanced Project?

In case any of our readers thought that Sheffield was the center of the Shoals, we must disabuse you of that idea. According to a certain Memphis developer, it's Furnace Hill. Oh, well, Sheffield can go back to being the City on the Bluff. Let's hope the city saved all its old signs.

A recent article in a Nashville financial magazine has listed Inspiration Landing as the most far advanced of John Elkington's three current developments. The other two are in New Orleans and Nashville. All three are primarily entertainment districts - highly specialized areas requiring, we would have thought, highly specialized planners and workers. 

In a recent filing with the SEC in which Elkington seeks to increase the amount of money he can legally glean from investors, the developer listed four others as major players in his company's plans when he included them in the official paperwork. One of these four is local - Sheffield contractor Bill Campbell, owner of Construction Engineering. From Manta:

Construction Engineering LLC is a privately held company in Sheffield, AL and is a Unknown business. Categorized under Home Builders. Our records show it was established in 2007 and incorporated in Alabama. Current estimates show this company has an annual revenue of $1 to 2.5 million and employs a staff of approximately 10 to 19.

Does this mean that Campbell is a major investor...or that he will be a major contractor for the project? If you want to learn more about the Inspiration Landing project, you can check out its website:
