"This infrastructure improvement project at the Little Canoe Creek Mega-Site perfectly illustrates how we can use the Growing Alabama Credit as a tool to facilitate growth and expand employment, " said Greg Canfield, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. "It also underscores how true collaboration can advance the goals of economic development in our state. " The Etowah County Commission began purchasing the Little Canoe Creek Mega-Site property in 2008. The site is adjacent to Interstate 59 in Attalla and located on a Norfolk Southern mainline. In 2018, the site earned the "Alabama AdvantageSite" designation, which means all the necessary due diligence typically needed by companies and site selection consultants during the evaluation process has been completed. "These types of partnerships are vital in helping the County Commission reach our longstanding goal of seeing high-paying jobs at the mega-site, " said Jeffery Washington, President of the Etowah County Commission. "We truly appreciate this funding made possible by Norfolk Southern and the state. "
