Special to the Advance
If you are interested in attracting retail industry to your area but are not sure where to start, then we have a seminar for you.
The Southwest Alabama Economic Development Alliance (SWAEDA) is sponsoring a one-day Retail Roundup Seminar March 15 in the Alabama Electric Cooperative Board Room in Andalusia. There is a $25 fee to attend the seminar, which includes lunch.
SWAEDA is an economic development organization that includes membership from nine counties located in Southwest Alabama.
The seminar is designed to provide the participant with the basic knowledge of attracting and recruiting retail industry. When participants leave this meeting, you should know how to begin and successfully recruit retail businesses and what incentives are available to them.
For more information about the seminar, please contact Gail Trant with Covington County Economic Development Commission at 334-222-7040.
