About Jackson

The City of Jackson, Alabama was founded in 1816 and is named after President Andrew Jackson. Former names for the city include Pine Level and Republicville. And while Jackson’s rich heritage and small-town charm have been preserved, the city has also grown by leaps and bounds over the past 194 years. Built initially as a Timber town, Jackson is now home to many types of industry and commercial development. From Bloomer’s Gifts & Floral to Boise Cascade Corporation, Jackson is a city with heart and a vision for tomorrow.

What We Do:

Providing technical assistance to select communities in order to strengthen their long-term economic success

ACE’s comprehensive three-phase approach targets communities with populations ranging from 2,000 to 18,000. Using a competitive application process, communities are selected based on the level of local commitment to the ACE program and the community’s capacity to support the ACE program.
