Scottsboro/Jackson County, AL (February 7, 2023) – The Mountain Lakes Chamber of Commerce has scheduled the annual Montgomery Drive-In for April 4-5, 2023.
This will be a regional Drive-In with Dekalb County joining us in Montgomery. Three Chambers will be working together on this event: Mountain Lakes Chamber of Commerce, Ft. Payne Chamber of Commerce and Henagar Chamber of Commerce. There will be a reception on the evening of the 4th with Jackson and Dekalb County legislative delegations and other state leaders.

We will have a Briefing and several state leaders have been invited including Governor Ivey, Lt Governor Will Ainsworth, John Cooper, State DOT Director, Greg Canfield, Director of the Department of Commerce, Paige Hutto, President/CEO, Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama, and a representative from the Business Council of Alabama. We will meet with our legislative delegations on the morning of the 5th. Included will be Senator Livingston, Senator Jones, Speaker Ledbetter, Representative Shaver, Representative Kirkland and Representative Whorton.

With a goal to actively involve and engage community leaders, the current Leadership Jackson County class will be joining us this year as well.

The estimated cost for the trip is $450 which includes the cost of bus transportation, hotel, meals and evening reception.

The Chamber is excited to coordinate the annual Montgomery Drive-In and encourages members of our community to travel with us and meet with our legislative delegation and other state leaders to discuss policy matters that are of importance to them.
