The City of Orange Beach is considering amending its noise ordinance, with a focus on construction activity. During a meeting Tuesday night, city officials advanced a proposal that would restrict construction-related noise from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily and prohibit it entirely on Sundays.

In the last 26 years Baldwin County has seen over a 65% increase in population growth, according to the Baldwin Economic Development Alliance. The expansion has put a severe strain on the infrastructure of cities within the county. In the past week the City of Fairhope announced a nine month moratorium on various residential multiple occupancy projects and now Orange Beach has made a similar proclamation.
