Dothan’s mayor calls this a game changer and thrusts the city into the high-tech spotlight.
The $20 million is in addition to the $10 million provided by Wiregrass Foundation, a nonprofit that invests in long-term community projects to enhance the quality of life.Related: Commission approves HudsonAlpha investment
Planned on a site next to the Wiregrass Museum of Art, the Innovation Center puts Dothan at the forefront of genetic research, with its construction coming during a boom of post-COVID industrial announcements. HudsonAlpha’s cutting-edge lab compliments City Center, an aggressive makeover of the Dothan’s core area where work has already begun overhauling the historic Dothan Opera House one block from the planned HudsonAlpha site.“HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology is a nonprofit institute dedicated to developing and applying scientific advances to health, agriculture, learning, and commercialization,” according to its website.
After announcing Dothan’s lab in August, the Hunstville-based group promptly hired Dean Mitchell, previously the Dothan Chamber’s executive director, to manage its local operations. According to spokesperson Vincent Vincent, the city of Dothan will not comment on the $20 million legislative appropriation until Monday, when there will be an official announcement.
