Great. Innovation Depot was already doing a good job bringing tech to the area so this is a welcome development to reinforce the effort.

Today, President Biden and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo will announce the designation of 31 communities across the country as Regional Innovation and Technology Hubs (Tech Hubs) through the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration. These Tech Hubs will catalyze investment in technologies critical to economic growth, national security, and job creation, and will help communities across the country become centers of innovation critical to American competitiveness. The Tech Hubs program was authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act – signed by President Biden in August 2022 – and is part of the President’s Bidenomics agenda to grow the economy from the middle out and bottom up.

Apparently the city has moved on to a second round where five to ten of the 31 will be chosen to recieve "significant" funding.

I'm a New Yorker very impressed with your Alabama Senator Katie Britt, I wish she were my Senator. Is she involved with this tech news and is she popular in your state?

I haven't read anything to suggest she had any significant role on this endeavor. She is the hand picked successor to Shelby who was a very prominent senator responsible for lots of ear marks and pork brought to our state. Britt seems to be assuming his role and on her way to filling his shoes quite well. Most of the money they bring for defense sector projects go to Huntsville or Redstone and wouldn't be to any direct benefit for blue voting area like Birmingham, but there is enough private interest and local grass roots bipartisan effort to fuel this without her directly involving herself... or getting in the way of it. If it pans out and becomes a growing, thriving hub... I'm sure she'll take some credit for it.

I’m an Alabamian very impressed with your Senator from NY, Chuck Schumer.
Your Senator from NY has been instrumental in bringing big tech to Upstate NY.
It must be nice having a Senator who brings home the bacon.

Not only is the technology coming, but Schumer is making sure the people who live in Upstate will be ready to get those jobs.
