About ACE

What is ACE?

Partners working together to provide Alabama communities with the community development programs and tools needed to ensure their long term success.

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.

Alabama Communities of Excellence

The Alabama Communities of Excellence (ACE) program uses a comprehensive, three-phase approach to assist participating communities in planning and preparing for a more vibrant future.
