The 2007 Economic Impact Study of Alabama’s Green Industry is now printed.  One of the benefits of the Economic Impact Study is to educate people on the valuable contributions that our industry makes to the environment and the economy. As the legislative session begins in January, ALNLA will be focusing on our relationship leaders across the state and continue to share with leaders more about the scope of Alabama Green Industry. Thanks to Commissioner Ron Sparks, Department of Ag & industries for funding the Economic Impact of Alabama’s Green Industry.
