About BETTER West Alabama

As part of its efforts to support economic recovery and revitalization in the 7-county region, the West Alabama Regional Commission has been awarded $400,000 from the U.S. Economic Development Association’s CARES Act Recovery Assistance in support of its BETTER (Bringing Economic Tools To Enrich and Revitalize) West Alabama initiative.

This cooperative campaign seeks to minimize the economic injury of the COVID-19 pandemic on local agencies, businesses and industries. By engaging local leaders, businesses and industries, BETTER West Alabama aims to stabilize and rebuild the economy in Bibb, Fayette, Greene, Hale, Lamar, Pickens and Tuscaloosa counties. Funding for this award has been made possible as part of a larger $2.8 million investment in seven EDA Economic Development District organizations across Alabama.
