阿拉巴马州与 Heartland Forward 合作引入投资准备中心 成第二个州级伙伴、2027年办投资对接活动
阿拉巴马州州长 Kay Ivey 于2026年11月12日在州府 Montgomery 宣布，阿拉巴马州与非营利智库与行动机构 Heartland Forward 达成合作，把该机构的「投资准备中心」（Center for Investment Readiness）引入全州社区，阿拉巴马州成为第二个州级伙伴。
投资准备中心为地方社区提供数据、工具与对接渠道，帮助社区梳理自身的产业与地块条件，做好承接私人投资的准备。阿拉巴马州商务厅将与 Heartland Forward 合作推进，并计划在2027年举办一场专门活动，把投资者带到已做好准备的社区，让社区直接对接资本。
Ivey 表示，其政府近十年来致力于建设强劲经济、创造就业、吸引投资，让全州每个角落的家庭都有机会；与 Heartland Forward 的合作是这一工作的延伸，重点是帮中小社区补上数据与对接能力的短板。
Heartland Forward 总部位于美国中部地区，专注于腹地各州的经济发展。在该机构2026年 Heartland 峰会上，阿拉巴马州的 Huntsville 市被评为「Secret Sauce Community」（成功要素社区）。
州长办公室说，投资准备中心的具体服务将面向全州各县市开放，社区可通过该中心获取投资数据、准备推介材料并参加对接活动。2027年投资者活动的具体时间与地点将另行公布。
Alabama Partners with Heartland Forward to Bring Center for Investment Readiness to Communities Statewide
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced in Montgomery on November 12, 2026, that Alabama is partnering with Heartland Forward, a nonprofit think-and-do tank, to bring its Center for Investment Readiness to communities across the state, making Alabama the center's second state partner.
The Center for Investment Readiness gives local communities data, tools and connections to prepare for private investment, helping them document their industries, sites and readiness. The Alabama Department of Commerce will work with Heartland Forward on the rollout, and the partners plan a 2027 event that brings investors directly to communities positioned for economic development.
Ivey said her administration has spent nearly a decade building a strong economy that creates jobs, attracts investment and provides opportunity for families in every corner of the state, and that the partnership extends that work, with a focus on smaller communities that lack data and deal-making capacity.
Heartland Forward works on economic development across America's heartland. At its 2026 Heartland Summit, Huntsville, Alabama, was named a Secret Sauce Community.
The Governor's Office said the center's services will be open to counties and cities statewide, with communities able to obtain investment data, prepare their pitches and join matchmaking events. The date and location of the 2027 investor event will be announced later.
