Montgomery County has been selected to join the prestigious Innovate Alabama Network. The Innovate Alabama Network is a comprehensive resource to connect communities, nonprofits, and higher education institutions across Alabama fostering innovation in their local footprint. Through this designation program, Innovate Alabama recognizes those who are shaping the state’s ecosystem.
Montgomery County is one of only four counties in the state to be given this honor. Montgomery County’s continued investment in innovative projects such as Montgomery Whitewater Park, K-12 STEM programs, attracting tech-based companies, and investing in higher education continues to set the County apart.
“Through the Innovate Alabama Network, we’re focused on developing a statewide network for innovation programming and catalyzing entrepreneurship in all of our communities, large and small,” said Cynthia Crutchfield, CEO of Innovate Alabama. “The program has become extremely competitive in this second round, with record-breaking engagement. As we continue to expand the Innovate Alabama Network, we’re eager to build on this momentum and create more resources that help foster connections among the designees.”
In addition to the network designation, the County was awarded a $210,000.00 grant to assist in the development of a countywide Parks & Recreation Master Plan.
