In April 2011, many Alabama communties were impacted by severe storms that produced multiple tornadoes. To help these communities recover, Gov. Robert Bentley signed Executive Order No. 18 on June 13 which named the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs to be the coordinating agency under the direction of the Governor’s Office for long term recovery efforts.

Press Release, Sept 15, 2011, Public Grant Writing Workshop to Focus on Long-Term Community Recovery
Two public grant writing workshops are being offered to Alabama residents, specifically those affected by the April 27 tornadoes. The workshops are being presented by the offices of Gov. Robert Bentley, Sen. Jeff Sessions and the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

On Sept. 19, Jessica Dent of ADECA will present "A Primer on Grant Writing" to give basic information about grants and various aspects of the application process. It will introduce community-planning tools to assist in writing for highly-competitive grants that can help fund community development, economic development, educational improvement and more.
