Montgomery is more than a city steeped in history—it’s a capital of growth, strategy, and investment. In 2024 alone, Montgomery ranked #1 in Alabama for capital investment in new projects and #2 overall, attracting more than $1.1 billion in new investment. National recognition is rising too: U.S. News & World Report named it one of the Top 150 Best Places to Live, The New York Times featured Montgomery as a Top 52 Travel Destination, and Time Magazine declared it one of the World’s Greatest Places, driven by the opening of the Montgomery Whitewater Park. 
Montgomery is home to Maxwell Air Force Base and Gunter Annex, where more than 12,000 military and civilian personnel help anchor a booming ecosystem in cybersecurity, defense, and innovation. The city is also home to the Air University, the intellectual center of the U.S. Air Force, and the Montgomery Internet Exchange (MGMix)—one of the only municipally owned IXs in the country. From data centers to defense contracts, Montgomery is laying the groundwork for the industries of the future.
Montgomery’s Riverfront Greenway Trail is the latest sign of the city’s reinvention. Backed by $4.2 million in public investment and generating $9 million+ in annual economic impact, it connects the downtown core to Maxwell AFB and a network of cultural destinations—creating a thriving corridor for locals, visitors, and entrepreneurs alike. This is a city investing in quality of life, infrastructure, and inclusive growth—with momentum that’s hard to match.
With its central Southeast location, direct access to I-65, I-85, and an emerging $94 million intermodal logistics facility, Montgomery is a natural home for corporate and regional headquarters. The Montgomery Regional Airport connects companies to key markets, and the Alabama River offers untapped inland port potential. Paired with a revitalized downtown, growing housing stock, and smart investment strategies, this capital city is ready to scale.
This is a city where tradition isn’t an anchor—it’s a launchpad.
