Infrastructure

At Talladega County EDA, it is our goal to provide adequate public facilities and services to meet the existing and future needs of the community, and to encourage the efficient use of energy resources. Our objectives are to ensure that the rate of growth does not exceed the ability of the community, or the region, and to provide the necessary level of facilities and services.

The construction, expansion, or provision of public or private facilities and services should be consistent with the goals and policies of the community.
