Alabama NewsCenter — Alabama Power recognized for partnership in rural development

By Alabama NewsCenter Staff

The Alabama Power Economic and Community Development team has been named a Rural Star Partner by the Alabama Department of Commerce for its role in supporting rural development. Announced at the Department of Commerce’s annual Rural Development Conference, the Rural Star Partner Award recognizes partners across Alabama who support rural development through the Simulated Training and Readiness (STAR) program.

The STAR program provides valuable training to economic developers working in rural areas to help prepare them to better compete for business growth projects.

STAR is gaining popularity, with a third of the state’s rural developers having completed or entered the program.
