The Birmingham Business Alliance is proud to celebrate the grand opening of Carver Jones Market! This new grocery store located in Titusville's Heritage Towne Centre has brought an end to a three-year food desert in the neighborhood.

In addition to fresh, healthy food access, the store will include a coffee shop and pharmacy. The store is expected to create thirty jobs, serve as a workforce development center and offer conference room space.

This milestone was made possible through strong local partnerships, including the City of Birmingham, Birmingham City Council and BHM Bank. The BBA congratulates everyone who helped bring this store to life.

What really makes a region globally competitive?

At the Central Alabama Economic Development Summit happening Oct. 15, we’re going straight to the people who evaluate communities and help determine where major investments land.

Join Ron Starner, Executive Vice President of Site Selection Magazine, and Jay Garner, Founder and President of Garner Economics, LLC, for a candid conversation moderated by Greg Canfield, Managing Director of Economic Development at Burr & Forman.

They'll take attendees inside the site selection process - covering what companies prioritize when evaluating a region, how site selectors assess communities and sites, what can make or break a deal, competitive analysis, and how Central Alabama and the South can compete better.

If we want to win more investment, we need to understand how the decisions are made.
