The COVID-19 pandemic threw a monkey wrench in Alabama’s economy last year, interrupting a golden period of substantial growth and casting doubt on whether the momentum could be regained.
Fortunately for Alabama, the economic foundation built over the past several years looks resilient. Plus, the economic development pipeline for 2021 continues to flow with high-caliber projects that are poised to bring new jobs and investment to Alabama.
“Right now, there are many exciting developments unfolding across Alabama that showcase next-level innovation, highlight the extraordinary capabilities of our workers and contribute more horsepower to the state’s evolving economy,” said Greg Canfield, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce.
“While there are still many obstacles to overcome and healing to be done, sparks of vitality are lighting up in many sectors of Alabama’s economy,” he added.
