Overview
This bill establishes a tiered system for classifying rural areas in Alabama, allowing state agencies to better target resources and programs to communities based on their specific characteristics. It defines key terms like ‘agricultural economic character,’ ‘industrial economic character,’ and ‘resource-based economic character,’ and outlines three tiers of rural classification: Remote and Deep Rural, Rural Communities, and Rural-Adjacent or Underserved. The bill aims to improve the state’s ability to support these diverse areas.
