Last month, Reinvest Birmingham joined leaders, innovators, and community partners at the Economic Mobility Summit hosted by the City of Birmingham’s Department of Innovation and Economic Opportunity and Office of Business Diversity and Opportunity.

Inside the North Star Learning Lab, our shared space with Ed Farm, we showcased how collaboration is driving action across North Birmingham through environmental remediation, workforce initiatives, neighborhood revitalization, and long-term investment strategies.

Thank you to our partners Ed Farm, Alabama Power, and Lawson State Community College for helping create a space where ideas become action and opportunities grow.
