The Supporting Empowered Emerging Developers (SEED) Academy has been launched by the City of Montgomery as an initiative to help real estate startups to get off the ground.
The program will officially begin in the fall as a partnership between the city and the nonprofit, Grow America.
Up to 25 participants will take part in a week-long course that involves training, technical assistance, and real-world application.
“Housing is the foundation,” said Mayor Steven Reed. “By preparing our housing stock as the first line of defense against climate risks, and as a pathway to build wealth, we are investing in people and places that can thrive. SEED Academy is a direct response to that vision.”
Features of the program include:
Pre-Academy Groundwork: Landscape survey, steering committee formation, and participant selection support
Core Instruction & Capstone Project: Technical and practical training aligned with Montgomery’s development priorities
Post-Academy Technical Assistance: Continued guidance to help participants launch and scale development projects
Applications will open in the first week of September. For questions or more information contact City of Montgomery Director, Innovation Team Amerika Blair at 334-625-4314.
