A Message From the Chairman

Please accept our invitation to explore the start-up and operational advantages available to new and expanding businesses in the Birmingham, Alabama area.

Our seven-county region is anchored by two of the most widely publicized economic development successes of the past ten years, Mercedes-Benz to our west and Honda to our east. In the center lies one of the world's foremost medical/research centers, the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

In addition, the area's transportation infrastructure and communications/utilities networks make this an ideal location for distribution centers and administrative support facilities.

Our low costs of doing business, attractive incentive packages, and wide selection of ideally suited sites and available buildings can mean better bottom line return from an operation in the Birmingham area.

Through this web site we provide much of the data needed by location decision-makers, corporate and consultant alike. Obviously, we hope that you find a reason on our site to contact us for specific information for your project. Our staff stands ready to assist your project in any way possible. Please call on us.

We can be reached by phone at 205-942-7284, by fax at 205-942-7319 or e-mail us at mail@mdb.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

Charles Mayer, MDB Chairman
