ADEM Filing Lists Planned Chick-fil-A Site at Millbrook’s 17 Springs

A July 14 construction-stormwater filing with the Alabama Department of Environmental Management places a planned Chick-fil-A project at Marketplace at 17 Springs in Millbrook.

The ADEM record identifies Chick-fil-A Inc. in Elmore County and places the site at the southeast corner of Marketplace Drive and Marketplace Lane. The related electronic filing lists permit number ALR10C8AJ, identifies the filing as a notice of intent and gives July 14, 2026, as the filing date.

What the filing confirms

The record shows that the restaurant site appears in Alabama’s construction-stormwater regulatory system. It connects the planned project to a specific Millbrook location and an official state environmental filing.

It does not, by itself, confirm that the restaurant is open, that construction is complete or that every approval needed for the project has been issued. A construction-stormwater notice of intent should not be treated as a final building permit or final development approval.

Planned restaurant details

Recent reporting by Elmore-Autauga News described the planned Millbrook restaurant as approximately 5,600 square feet. The planned features include a drive-thru, indoor dining and covered outdoor seating.

No construction completion date or restaurant opening date has been announced. The next useful milestones for residents and commuters would include visible construction progress, additional building or development permits and an official announcement from Chick-fil-A or the project’s developers.

Part of Marketplace at 17 Springs

The Chick-fil-A site is part of the larger Marketplace at 17 Springs development, which the project’s website describes as under construction near Alabama Highway 14 and Interstate 65. The commercial district is being developed alongside the broader 17 Springs sports and recreation complex.

The ADEM filing applies to the construction-stormwater record associated with the Chick-fil-A location. It does not establish that other restaurants, pad-ready lots or separate components of Marketplace at 17 Springs have received final approval.

For now, the clearest update is regulatory rather than operational: Chick-fil-A is listed for the Millbrook site, the filing is dated July 14, 2026, and the project remains planned without a confirmed opening schedule.
