The staff and Board of Directors of WEDC sincerely appreciate the City of Enterprise’s continued investment in our organization. This support enables us to attract new businesses and industries, strengthen existing employers, and foster opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow and thrive within our community.

Mayor William E. Cooper, Sr. met with Jimmy Black of Southeast Gas and Jesse Quillen of Wiregrass Economic Development Corporation to talk about continued investment in Enterprise’s growth.

The City of Enterprise, Ala. qualified to receive $13,000 in Community Betterment Funds from Southeast Gas and, in recent years, has chosen to invest those funds into WEDC to support local economic development efforts.

That investment helps recruit new businesses and industry, support existing employers, and create opportunities for entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow right here in our community.

It’s partnerships like this that keep Enterprise moving forward and building a strong, sustainable future.

Be aware and always place safety first. It's important to "move over" and give linemen and utility workers room to work safely.

When you see our utility vehicles on the side of the road, please slow down, move over and give our lineworkers the space to work safely.

“Move Over” is not only the law in all 50 states but is also the courteous and safe thing to do.
