) - Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced the State Industrial Development Authority approved 21 grants totaling $15.7 million under the Site Evaluation and Economic Development Strategy program. The grants are designed to help strengthen the state’s competitiveness in securing large-scale economic development projects by speeding up the development of industry-ready sites.
Officials say the grants have helped dozens of communities with land purchases, site preparation, environmental surveys, and other improvements that help attract projects that create quality, high-paying jobs. In the three years the program has existed, SEEDS - and the required local match - have invested more than $130 million at 77 sites statewide. “SEEDS has proven to be a game-changer for Alabama’s economic development, helping communities across our state compete for the transformative projects that create jobs and build prosperity,” said Governor Ivey. “With 77 sites now approved for funding across three rounds, SEEDS continues to deliver on its promise. We’re already seeing major companies choose Alabama because we’ve invested in making our sites ready for development.” The grants in this third round are slated to go to Colbert, Geneva, Baldwin, Talladega, Covington, Pike, Jackson, Tuscaloosa, and Marion counties.“Circle City Pimp” will serve life sentence Investigators believe missing mother of ‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie is ‘still out there’ but no suspectsThis Day in History: Blizzard of '78
