Southern Business & Development names Tallassee as "Comeback Kid"

April 30, 2008

In the most recent edition of Southern Business & Development magazine, the City of Tallassee in Elmore County was named as one of the top 10 "comeback kids" in the South for their recent achievements in economic development.

From Southern Business & Development:

"Located in east Alabama not far from LaGrange, Ga., Tallassee-Elmore County, Ala. has benefited greatly from the automotive industry.  But if you are going to make our list of "Comeback Kids," which we publish about every two or three years in the annual "Ten Top 10s" ranking, then you better not be too dependent on one industry.  The town of Tallassee, Ala. and the county of Elmore, has done what many communities 10 times its size have not; landed deals in a variety of industry sectors recently, including aerospace and aviation, distribution, general manufacturing and of course, the transportation equipment sector."
