When a strong team has a good record and an excellent playing field, world-caliber performance can take place. Huntsville's economic development team is led by the Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County and relies on The University of Alabama in Huntsville as a key player. With Cummings Research Park and Huntsville/Madison County as the playing field, people rooting for Huntsville can expect good things. The nationally recognized research done at The University of Alabama in Huntsville is closely interwoven with industry and government, and that is a powerful economic development tool, says Chip Cherry, Chamber president and CEO.
