Country Crossings is a new development in Dothan, Alabama, that will cater to the country music fan.  Included in phase one of this entertainment extravaganza are George Jones’ Possum Hollow Bed and Breakfast, which will open in December, along with many other restaurants and live entertainment venues.  We caught up with developer Ronnie Gilley to see what we can expect to see when the complex opens in December.  Construction has been going strong 24-7 for months now, and it looks like their original deadline for opening in December will still be met.  Look for more on the grand opening right here on Inside Music Row.  

Artists that have been around the block a few times know that music is only part of a career in business. There are many opportunities to align themselves with projects they support.  When Ronnie Gilley approached artists such as George Jones, Lorrie Morgan, and Kix Brooks to come to Enterprise, Alabama, it was an easy sell with the construction of Country Crossings... a new country music extravaganza in the neighboring county, and BamaJam, a hot new music festival in Early June. We headed south to see what the buzz is all about.

Country Crossings is soon to be one of the largest country music entertainment extravaganzas in the world.  Phase one is scheduled to be complete in December, but we got a sneek peak at the progress when we flew down to Dothan, Alabama, with George Jones, and Lorrie Morgan to check in with the developer.  Between Country Crossings, a country music-themed  residential commmunity, and Bamajam, Ronnie Gilley has his hands full. It looks like a great destination for the whole family.
