BIRMINGHAM, AL-Opus South Corp. broke ground here on Friday for the new home of the US Social Security Administration Southeast Payment Processing Center. The US General Services Administration inked a $307-million lease agreement for the 587,000-sf complex in August .

The project will rise between 8th and 9th avenues North and 12th and 14th streets North, on the edge of the Civil Rights District. Slated for completion in late 2007, local officials consider the project, a key step to spurring further development in and revitalizing the historic neighborhood.
