REALIZING A REGIONAL VISION

Launch connects the Tennessee Valley through private-public collaborative efforts to ensure our region continues to prosper. We’re working toward a shared vision, advancing our region’s economic growth in three strategic focus areas: Workforce, Entrepreneurship, and Land Use/Infrastructure.

IN 2014,

Elected officials and business leaders met to discuss what working together as a region would look like. Today, North Alabama is experiencing the results of that collaboration through the 220+ mile greenway, Singing River Trail, offering quality of life, workforce recruitment and retention, and entrepreneurship benefits to our communities.

EACH YEAR,

Launch and Singing River Trail bring our region’s entrepreneurs with a budding business idea to pitch their endeavor to a panel of judges in an effort to win cash prizes and launch their vision. This annual event is making a positive impact on North Alabama’s entrepreneurship ecosystem and diversifying the regional economy.

And we’re just getting started.
