REGION V TOURISM COMMITTEE Dated 10/1/2010 Letter from Chair REGION V TOURISM COMMITTEE Dated 10/1/2010 Letter from Chair The mission of the Alabama Rural Action Commission (ARAC) is to measurably improve the quality of life in Alabama's rural areas by working with citizens of Alabama and external parties who offer support. I am honored to Chair the ARAC South Central Alabama Action Commission Tourism Committee, which consists of 11 counties; Autauga, Bullock, Butler, Crenshaw, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Pike and Russell. The hard working, dedicated committee members visited every single county in our jurisdiction over the last year. The committee discussed the many ways to build on the tourism assets that we have in this diverse region. We shared ideas, from a mobile unit for customer service training to helping the incentive bill for the film industry get passed to vacationing in our own backyards. I am happy to say that the Region 5 meetings over the last year have energized leaders throughout the region about the very real prospects of growing tourism from where it is now to a much bigger and stronger industry. I look forward to another year of working with all 11 counties, engaging in the productive dialog that takes place, marveling at the creative sparks that get ignited and articulating a healthy respect for the leadership of the governments and institutions in Region 5 counties, cities and towns. Our work is an on-going process intended to maximize tourism in each of the communities within our target area. I would like to especially thank Governor Bob Riley and Senator Gerald Dial for their vision, leadership and support. Respectfully, Pebblin W.

INTRODUCTION Our Mission Region 5 Tourism Committee Region 5 Tourism Committee was formulated in September is an innovative group of 2008. It is a subcommittee of the Alabama Rural Action tourism marketing profes- Commission. Region 5 consists of Autauga, Bullock, Butler, sionals who share the vision Crenshaw, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Pike and Russell counties. This white paper will show that tourism and challenges of increasing within Region 5 represents a potential goldmine. We will tourism to our towns, cities highlight some of the many tourist attractions within each and region, through the pro- county. However, it will also speak to the need for collaboration and partnerships between counties in the Region. motion and marketing of au- thentic and unique cultural We explored the opportunities and challenges to bring enriching, exciting and authentic experiences to visitors and to and heritage offerings. develop our connections. Tourism remains one of Alabama’s most vital industries. The economic activity and employment generated by tourism spans various economic sectors. In 2009, over $679 million of the State and local tax revenues were generated by travel and tourism activities. Without these taxes, each household in Alabama would have had to pay $391 in additional taxes to maintain current service levels. Travelers are estimated to have spent over $9.3 billion in Alabama. Autauga 6 Bullock 8 An estimated 162,464 jobs—8.6 percent of non-agricultural employment in Alabama were directly or indirectly attributed Butler 10 to the travel and tourism industry. The total impact of the travel and tourism industry on Alabama’s earnings in 2009 is Crenshaw 12 estimated at over $3.6 billion. For every $1 in Alabama travel related expenditures creates one direct job in Alabama. Elmore 14 Lee 16 According to the United States Travel Association (USTA) the hotel demand continued to be well above the 2009 levels. The Lowndes 18 average American leisure traveler took an average of four trips during the past year and spent more than $3,500 on travel Macon 20 services and the research suggest that the industry can expect a modest increase in demand the year ahead. Montgomery 22 Pike 24 Russell 26 Issues & 28 Recommendation Acknowledgements 30 II. BACKGROUND This committee consists of individuals from each county in the Region with interest and/or expertise in tourism and marketing. The Tourism Committee is chaired by Representative Pebblin Warren. The co-chairs are Noah Hopkins and Frances Smiley. Other members of the committee are: Connie Bainbridge (Autauga); Cindy Chancellor (Lee); Victor Cross (Russell); Harold Daniels (Butler); L. River James (Macon); Robert Lane (Lowndes); Barbara McLaurine (Bullock); Anne Maxwell (Bullock); Sheila Morrissette (Autauga); Clara Nobles (Montgomery); Joyce Perrin (Bullock); Robyn Snellgrove (Crenshaw) and Jan Wood (Elmore). We identified within our region the following types of tourism assets: Heritage and cultural related, Environmental/Natural, shopping, architectural, archaeological, entertainment, events, festivals, rural, outdoor, recreational, educational, business, flea markets and specialty stores. In our meetings we discussed some suggested audiences or visitors for assets: local and regional residents, visitors from bordering states, national and international tourists, baby boomers, naturalists (great geographic diversity), heritage tourists, educators, students, genealogists, outdoor enthusiasts, RV lifestyle, shoppers, spring breakers, conference attendees, sports fans and music enthusiasts. Region 5 has attractions that will attract all of these visitors. III. IDENTIFYING THE NEED This paper will identify some possible solutions to connecting the tourism components within this region and some innovative measures to market tourism in this Region. We must begin to capitalize on our natural Alabama treasures. Each county in Alabama offers a rich and unique experience. The State of Alabama has a lot to offer. From Montgomery to the Georgia line is a different world. This committee held its meetings in each of the eleven (11) counties within Region 5. As we traveled around the region and listened to community leaders make presentations regarding their cities and towns we became aware of the increasing need to connect the region and to develop strong marketing tools. Some of the top issues identified were the need for customer service training, the lack of a viable marketing piece (brochure) representing the highlight of the region, and with the passing of the Film Incentive Bill in the last Legislative Session, the issue of not being in a position to readily take advantage of the film industry business that will come to our great State. IV. HIGHLIGHTING REGION 5 We have highlighted each county within the Region. The first page will give general information about the county, then tell you what makes the county unique and tell you why you need to visit the area. The second page will list the unique assets within the county. 5 AUTAUGA COUNTY GENERAL INFORMATION As of the 2000 census the population was 43,671. The 2009 population estimate is 51,318. Its county seat is Prattville. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 604 square miles. Nearly 596 square miles of it is land, and eight square miles of it (1.40%) is water. What is it that makes our community unique? Autauga County Courthouse Prattville, Alabama is home of Alabama’s First Industry. Daniel Pratt moved to Why would someone come to our area? Alabama from New Hampshire in 1833 to build and sell cotton gins. Over the Prattville, Alabama is a friendly city that truly has something years, he built an industrial village that to offer everyone.

    HEADQUARTERS GAZETTE SOCIETY FOR MILITARY HISTORY VOL. 27, No. 4 Winter 2015 2015 Annual Meeting Update by John Terino In April 2014, Montgomery, Alabama was voted USA Today Travel’s Best Historic City in the United States in large part because so many aspects of American history are concen- trated in an inviting and welcoming downtown. There are lots of great amenities within a 10 block radius of the meeting hotel. The Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center, located at the intersection of Tallapoosa and Commerce Streets, is part of vibrant and growing urban social scene that is easily accessible on foot. The building itself sits on land that was once the loca- tion of two significant landmarks. Freeney’s Bell Tavern, the first brick building erected in Montgomery in 1824, and later, the first offices of the Confederate States of America govern- ment. The current location of the Exchange Bar in the hotel is on the site of the old Tavern that burned down in 1926. Wintzell’s Oyster House now occupies the plot that housed the Exchange Hotel, location of the CSA offices, and offers a taste of delectable Gulf of Mexico seafood specialties including fresh oysters. Across Tallapoosa Street from the hotel are the historic Union Station and Train Shed. Union Station houses both the Montgomery Visitor Center and Lek’s Railroad Thai restau- rant, if you are up for a dining excursion evocative of South Asia. Inside the train shed is a one of the Lightning Route Streetcars representative of the first all-electric streetcar network that began in Montgomery in 1886.

  • HISTORIC PRESERVATION Strategic Analysis Memo | Envision Montgomery 2040 Comprehensive Plan
    HISTORIC PRESERVATION Strategic Analysis Memo | Envision Montgomery 2040 Comprehensive Plan February 21, 2019 DRAFT The following outlines the key findings, maps and tables for the Historic Preservation Strategic Analysis. This research integrates initial findings from the Factbook with deeper analysis into key conditions and trends and/or topics proposed by stakeholders. This analysis will serve as the foundation from which plan recommendations are built. This is one in a series of 12 topical memos produced through this phase. CONTENTS 1. Impactful EventsDRAFT that Shaped Montgomery 2. Current Historic Preservation Efforts 3. Map Gallery and Supplements Introduction The City of Montgomery is a place of rich history. The origins of Montgomery can forever be seen in its conflicting downtown grid system, as two rival towns merged and incorporated in 1819. Montgomery would grow to play an iconic role in changing the shape of the Nation several times over. As both the birth place of the Confederacy and the Civil Rights Movement, Montgomery has no doubt left its mark on the country and the world. Over the years this history has weaved itself into the places, buildings, and fabric of Montgomery. Montgomery maintains this strong identification with its past, and that connection is exemplified through the built environment. To preserve its past and to ensure its future, Montgomery actively works to preserve both historic and architecturally significant places, but more needs to be done to ensure this connection is as strong as Montgomery deserves. Historic Preservation is the process of strengthening connections between people and places through identification and protection of the built environment to convey historic significance for current and future education and enjoyment.

    OLD OAKWOOD CEMETERY MARKER # 1 Mrs. Charlotte Morton Dexter Born 1787 Died Aug. 17, 1819, Montgomery, Alabama at age 32. Located just to the right of the entrance gate. She was the daughter of the Governor of Massachusettes. The Reverend James King, officiated at her funeral, and she is believed to have been the first person officially buried in that portion of the cemetery donated by her husband. Other members of her family are buried here. Andrew Dexter, her husband, was a founder of Montgomery and donor of the first land for the cemetery. He died of yellow fever while visiting Mobile and was buried there in an unmarked grave. MARKER # 2 Henry Washington Hilliard Born in Fayetteville, North Carolina, August 4, 1808. He was educated in South Carolina and in Georgia, and became a practicing attorney in Georgia. He came to Alabama as professor of English at the University of Alabama in 1831. After some three years he resigned and moved to Montgomery to practice law. Becoming one of the most famous of Alabama Whigs, Hilliard served in the Legislature as a Whig, and was appointed by President John Tyler to a diplomatic mission to Belgium. In 1844, Hilliard was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, and re- 173; elected for two additional terms. While he was in the U. S. Congress, Hilliard served as a regent to the Smithsonian Institution. Hilliard opposed secession, and debated the issue with the redoubtable William L. Yancy, with the result that Hilliard had the general reputation of being the only man in the state who could really stand up to Yancy in a debate.
