The result of a more than $72,000 contract set to be voted on by the Mobile City Council in the coming weeks could be an observation wheel at Cooper Riverside Park. 

The amenity aimed at driving tourism in the Port City was part of very preliminary sketches as discussions over waterfront development have intensified, Mayor Sandy Stimpson told councilors during a pre-conference meeting Tuesday, April 20. The $72,014 contract with Moffatt & Nichol Inc. for development services related to a riverfront redevelopment project may or may not, at this point, include the Ferris wheel-like attraction.
