A major milestone in Gulf Shores is helping shape the future of our region, and Baldwin EMC is honored to play a role in it.
The City of Gulf Shores was awarded $2.14 million through the Growing Alabama Tax Credit Program to support key development at Gulf Shores International Airport. This investment will help position the airport for future aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations, opening the door to high-skill jobs, new business opportunities and continued private investment in our area.
We are honored to support this effort by helping make the project possible through a funding partnership. While our primary mission is always to provide reliable power to our members, we also recognize how important strategic economic development is to the long-term strength of our communities.
Lee Johnson, Baldwin EMC Vice President of External Affairs and Economic Development, emphasizes the significance of Gulf Shores International Airport as a vital regional asset and highlights the collaboration with community partners to foster economic growth and development opportunities.
Projects like this do more than improve infrastructure, they help create opportunity, support local families, and strengthen the economic future of the region we serve. As Baldwin County continues to grow, we remain committed to working alongside partners like the City of Gulf Shores to help power progress in meaningful ways.
