Pike, Greene County communities receive grants for infrastructure development

The City of Brundidge in Pike County and the Greene County Industrial Development Authority are among others to receive grants from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA). 

$15.5 million is being allocated from the Growing Alabama program to assist in industrial development sites. 

“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 Gov. Kay Ivey. “The Growing Alabama program is helping us do just that.”

The City of Brundidge receives $473,275 for site work and public infrastructure at North Industrial Park while the Greene County Industrial Development Authority receives $1.31 million for the same at Crossroads of America Industrial Park.

“The Growing Alabama program is a powerful tool to accelerate the development of shovel-ready sites, which are critically needed today as we compete for high-impact economic development projects that bring significant job creation,” said Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce Ellen McNair. “This round of Growing Alabama allocations will make a real difference for these communities.”
