The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA) has awarded a total of $500,000 to construct an entrance at the Regional East Alabama Logistics (REAL) Park in Tuskegee that will be home to the upcoming Trendco USA facility.
Trendco USA intends to build a facility producing nitrile gloves and will create an estimated 292 jobs.
“Trendco USA’s expansion is great economic news for the county and for Alabama,” Gov. Ivey said. “I am pleased to announce these additional funds for a project that will create jobs both now and in the future for residents of Macon County and nearby areas.”
Funds will be used to provide a turn lane into the park from Alabama Highway 186, as well as an access road into the park. They are being administered from the Appalachian Regional Commission along with a $250,000 Community Development Block Grant awarded from ADECA in 2023.
“The Appalachian Regional Commission continues to help usher new industries into Alabama and improve lives and livelihoods,” ADECA Director Kenneth Boswell said. “ADECA joins with Gov. Ivey in celebrating this project and looking forward to continuing positive developments in this area of Alabama.”
