Word from Our Leadership
Dear neighbor,
You are holding the inaugural issue of Rising Tide, the new magazine of the Chamber of Commerce of West alabama. thanks to our outstanding partnership with the tuscaloosa news, we will publish this magazine on a quarterly basis. i t is our mission to provide pertinent information that can be useful to the business community as well as interesting stories about the many talented professionals who help keep our economy strong.
We are so fortunate to be the home of great institutions of higher education such as the nationally-renowned university of alabama. our new magazine’s name hopefully alludes to that same championship mentality, but it also has a different meaning. one of the cultural mindsets among the volunteer leadership and staff of the Chamber is the old adage “a rising tide floats all boats”. to us, that means that when the public, private and nonprofit sectors of our community work together through a shared vision, everyone succeeds.
now and in the future, Rising Tide will be one of the avenues in which the Chamber will tell the story of all the great economic development-driven successes this community will continue to enjoy. We welcome your comments, questions and ideas.
happy reading,
Jim m. Page, CCe President and Ceo Chamber of Commerce of West alabama
We have all had the opportunity in recent years to see the successful results of “the process”: Paying attention to the details, playing together as a team, and settling for nothing less than your best every day. these same elements seem to have come together like never before in our community as local government, the Chamber of Commerce, and business people are working together to accomplish wins in economic development.
With the challenges and opportunities of the april 2011 destruction and the growth of the university of alabama, our area is poised for significant economic growth. even the new emphasis to “buy local” is a reminder of the pride we should have in our community for all there is to offer in shopping, recreation, natural resources, education, employment, services, history, restaurants, etc. i t is exciting to have a publication that will highlight these resources and the people making it all happen.

New Developments Bring New Life To T-Town
In comparison to other cities affected by the recent economic downturn, the west alabama economy stands as a testament to college area economies everywhere.
BY rYan Philli P s
around the city and surrounding areas, the effects of growth are apparent and according to the Chamber of Commerce, the local economy will continue its climb.
Donny Jones, Chief operating o fficer, the Chamber of Commerce of West alabama, recognizes the role that retail growth will play in shaping the ever-growing, local economy. “a city that is unable to capture its proportionate share of retail sales will be hampered in its ability to grow”, he said. “ this makes it possible to provide the quality of life services so many of its residents come to expect in a vibrant community.”
a s economists nationwide look for answers, Jones believes that through smart business tactics, tuscaloosa will remain on the upswing. he is certain that citizens will be pleased with the effects of the economic growth that will stem from new business coming into the area.
“one of the major issues for local governments is revenue” he said. “one of the greatest sources of that revenue is retail sales tax and business
license fees. one of the most important sources is tax derived from the sale of retail goods within the community—that is local money that goes right back into local projects. “
according to Jason Walker, President of the consulting engineering firm Walker a ssociates and v ice Chair of economic Development for the Chamber, there are many catalysts that drive the West alabama economy forward.
“ the tuscaloosa metro area is experiencing enormous growth in residential housing, recreational facilities and sporting events, cultural events, downtown renewal and a rapidly expanding industrial base”, he said. “ these factors along with the growth of the student population at the university of alabama have ignited the momentum of the economy in the region”.
much time and research is required in order to properly allocate retailers to maximize profit and the Chamber of Commerce utilizes a system that identifies areas in which the economy may prove to be a potential boom or bust.
“an objective in our strategy was to work with our partners at retail strategies and Decision Data to assess the types of retail categories and the retailers which would fill the “gaps” in our region”, Jones said. “ through this process we have identified over 150 potential retailers and restaurants for our market”.
Jones believes that in order to be successful, the target emphasis must be put on the local buyer. “ the tuscaloosa regional trade area population exceeds 350,000 with a retail purchasing power in excess of $2.1 billion”, he said. “ the goal of the City of tuscaloosa is to capture as many of those dollars spent on goods and services outside our trade area. these dollars are going to pay for road projects, schools and parks for citizens outside of tuscaloosa County.”
along with the financial analysis, property availability and business effectiveness play a crucial role in successful retail ventures.
“also, an analysis was made of available properties for those potential retailers”, Jones said. “Work is underway to assist tuscaloosa/

northport developers and realtors in marketing their existing sites and in the creation of new developments such as the Chance Partner’s riverfront village located on the old Chevrolet site close to the amphitheater, shops at legacy Park across from midtown v illage, Capital growth real estate’s City Center development where the old hobby lobby was located on mcfarland Blvd and 2700 Capitol Park adjacent to the o ld tavern.”
a legitimate concern held by many consumers across the country is the reputation had by large national corporations and their effects in smaller markets. a growing fear is that big market corporations will drive the family owned businesses off main street but according to the Chamber of Commerce, the benefits can be felt on both sides of the spectrum.
“our efforts to recruit new to the market retail have a positive overall impact to our existing retail base”, stated Jim Page, President and Ceo “By bringing in more retail options to the community, more residents stay home to do their shopping. the impact of more retail dollars staying in our trade area provides more opportunities for our local businesses to capture more of those dollars and grow their customer base. hence the name of this new magazine, rising t ide, because a rising tide truly floats all boats.”
around tuscaloosa and northport, citizens can also expect to begin seeing signs promoting a new “Buy local” campaign aimed at boosting the local economy by keeping local dollars in the market. this community wide project sponsored by the Cities of tuscaloosa and northport along with the Chamber will communicate the importance of supporting local businesses.
“so many times people in tuscaloosa will load up the car and drive to Birmingham to shop at the major retailers that are not offered in tuscaloosa”, Jones said. “We are doing everything we can in order to bring some of those retailers into the city because we want to keep those dollars here in order to provide more options and projects for the community”.

New Campaign Launched to Promote
ShOPPiNg LOCaL
In today’s ever-changing economy, the concept of promoting municipal growth at the local level has spread throughout the country as a possible solution to recent economic downturns.
BY rYan Philli P s
tuscaloosa and northport have had shop local campaigns in the past but recently introduced new ad formats created by totalcom marketing. the ads are in partnership with the Chamber and are attractively festive with a secondary component aimed at educating citizens about how important their dollar is to increasing the local quality of life.
the goal is to create a commercial atmosphere in both cities that is appealing to local pocket books while beneficial for economic growth. these campaigns invite the retailers to take part in making them successful by using website banners, social media material, posters, point of sale tents, and bag stuffers. the campaigns have the same look and feel but are specific to the commercial hubs of the cities.
the City of tuscaloosa’s campaign is t-town all the time, which highlights areas of commerce around the city such as midtown and the river market.
as listed on www.ttownallthetime.com, “money spent in t-town creates additional spending that is reinvested in the local economy to create more income and more jobs.” also, “if local money is spent in tuscaloosa, then it will stay in tuscaloosa by benefiting schools and projects that will keep the quality of life on the rise. “
on the other side of the bridge, the city of northport is putting the same emphasis on educating citizens and raising awareness about investing in the community by shopping local. its campaign, shop northport—now, features area hot spots like historic Downtown northport and mcfarland with the goal of attracting local dollars.
the northport website, www.shopnorthportnow.com, functions to educate taxpayers on the notion that if citizens spend money in the community, those tax dollars will be put back into the economy by being spent towards building and maintaining schools, parks, roads and more.
“The goal is to create a commercial atmosphere in both cities that is appealing to local pocket books while beneficial for economic growth.”

Ingram Far ms Fr uit & Vegetable Market
The Ingram Farms Fruit and Vegetable Market at 1196 Union Chapel Road (Near Sokol Park) offers a mixture of locally grown vegetables and Quality Produce. Our produce is acquired from growers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi. We also have premium apples, oranges, plums and other products from California and other states. All items are delivered daily and/or weekly to insure premium quality and freshness. Quality and customer satisfaction is guaranteed by John E. Ingram. John, a local practicing CPA, grew up on a truck farm in pike county. His family has operated a full size grocery store known as, Ingram’s Club Market, located in Troy, AL since 1959.
I have always enjoyed working with produce and providing
customer service. Ingram Farms provides a way for me to teach my grandchildren, student employees and other employees the techniques of growing, harvesting, packaging and marketing fruits and vegetables. Hopefully, they will also learn the importance of a good work ethic, accountability, customer service, and how to run a business.
We continue to expand the variety of items offered, and change and rearrange the layout of the market to provide exciting displays and ease of shopping for our customers.
When in season, most of our produce, comes from our farm along the Tuscaloosa/Pickens County Line.
