The south Baldwin County area is no longer a collection of small communities. We are a coalition of regional communities located in one of the fastest growing areas in the state. With that growth comes enormous opportunities and challenges. We need to work together to take advantage of these opportunities and meet these challenges. Local office holders, including mayors, county commissioners and legislators, want and need to hear from business leaders about our area’s needs for the future. Most importantly, they want to hear a united voice with a clear message. Due to the dynamic and explosive growth of our region, a unified strategy must be developed and communicated accurately to support the growing infrastructure, workforce needs, and product development. GUMBO is committed to working with the mayors of our local municipalities, members of the Baldwin County Commission, our local legislative delegation as well as our leaders in Washington, D.C. to focus attention on our needs and provide the infrastructure necessary for our unique communities.
