I'm in the process of moving back to Montgomery around March, 2024. For the last four years I have lived in the Tampa Bay Area. I have been spending more time in Montgomery the last few months and have been impressed with the amount of growth I have seen.

Don't get me wrong the growth is nothing like what I have seen in the Tampa Bay Area, but it appears that Montgomery is moving in the right direction.

I am excited to be moving back to my hometown and cannot wait to see what the future holds for Montgomery.

It is, but many don't know much about it thanks to our media.

But this is a very interesting article from the Montgomery Advertiser about Montgomery Whitewater's international recognition and future developments. Unfortunately, its best details are buried deep inside of an article about an upcoming kayaking competition event...

And it looks like the anticipated onsite hotel for Montgomery Whitewater may be developed by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, according to the article. That would be a nice addition to their other two hotels in the Montgomery area.

An interesting article about the economic impact of I-85 for the South - comparing it to what the Transcontinental Railroad meant to the US 150 years ago.

Nice. Thanks for the pic SpawnOfVulcan. The open space in front of the new Statehouse is where the current one stands and will be torn down.

Nice at all the updates in Montgomery. Courthouse construction kinda reminds me of Capital Complex district here in Jackson. Thanks for all updates. Does Alabama State still have their annual Thanksgiving parade?

No problem bystander1, and really thats great. I remember my uncle taking me and my cousins to the Turkey Day Parade every time I visited back in 2005 through 2008 (we would visit every Thanksgiving). I had loads of fun and I still remember the amazing food love Montgomery! Glad your community is growing and prospering!
