The Huntsville Regional Economic Growth Initiative (HREGI), under the stewardship of the Huntsville/ Madison County Chamber of Commerce, works to establish Huntsville/Madison County as a stronger and more visible community in the nationwide competition for economic growth opportunities. Investors and participants in the chamber’s plan measure the community’s economic performance against industry-accepted economic development criteria to achieve a relevant return on investment. The initiative positions the Huntsville area as one of the leading economic growth centers in the Southeast.
