Seven economic development organizations across Alabama will share in $15.5 million in grants allocated from Growing Alabama funding.
The Growing Alabama program provides a tax credit to taxpayers who make contributions to economic development organizations.
“We’ve been on a long winning streak when it comes to economic development, but we need to replenish our inventory of available industrial sites across the state to stay in the game,” said Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey. “The Growing Alabama program is helping us do just that.”
Here are the recipients of Growing Alabama funding in the latest cycle:
- The Industrial Development Board of the City of Auburn: $2.76 million for site work and public infrastructure at Auburn Technology Park.
