If residents of the original c. 1900s mining town of Acton; Alabama; looked into the future; would they have imagined that the area would develop into the multimillion-dollar planned community it is today? In the late 1960s; John M. Harbert III (1921�1995); founder of Harbert Corporation; saw tremendous potential for land in Acton owned by the Chace brothers. In 1974; the Harbert Corporation partnered with Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States to form Harbert-Equitable Joint Venture; Riverchase. This plan was not a concrete jungle of homes and businesses. The venture called for a careful blending of new development with its surrounding natural landscape. This plan spoke to man�s need to be part of nature; albeit in a new and responsible way. Today; Riverchase is a picturesque community steeped in land preservation; business development; and community pride. The story of Riverchase is conveyed through the memories of its residents in Images of Modern America: Riverchase.
