Trussville Morning Brief: February 7, 2026

Here is a quick look at what is happening in and around Trussville today, from public safety updates to ways to support local schools and programs.

Missing and endangered person alert

State authorities and local police have issued a Missing and Endangered Person Alert for 72-year-old Davy Marshall West, last seen Friday morning in the Acrilane Drive area. He was reported wearing gray sweatpants and a black leather jacket.

Anyone who may have seen him or has information on his whereabouts is urged to contact the Trussville Police Department or call 911 so officers can check on his safety as quickly as possible.

Casino Night supports Trussville schools

A big community fundraiser is set for tonight as Casino Night returns to raise money for classroom projects and student programs in Trussville City Schools. The event is scheduled for this evening in the downtown entertainment district, bringing together games, food and live music.

Proceeds from the night go to grants and special initiatives across the school system, helping teachers add extra experiences in their classrooms. Residents are encouraged to check ticket availability and dress for a festive evening out.

Library and downtown events this week

The Trussville Public Library has a full calendar lined up over the coming days, including book clubs, game nights, crafts and storytimes for kids. Teens can look forward to video game tournaments and tabletop role-playing sessions, while adults have options ranging from knitting classes to discussion groups.

Downtown, the entertainment district is also filling the February schedule with concerts, book-themed gatherings and family friendly nights at local restaurants and venues. It is worth checking event listings if you are planning a night out or looking for something new to do close to home.

Looking ahead: traffic and city meetings

Drivers should continue to allow extra time around the I-59 corridor, where construction and lane shifts related to the widening project are expected to affect traffic patterns for months. Northbound traffic near the I-459 interchange remains especially busy during peak hours.

City planners are preparing for a Planning and Zoning Board meeting Monday evening at City Hall, where development and land use items will be on the agenda. Agendas and meeting details are available through the citys website for residents who want to follow upcoming decisions.
