Due to the joint efforts of the Elmore County Industrial Development Authority (ECIDA), the City of Tallassee, the Elmore County Economic Development Authority (ECEDA), and the Elmore County Commission, the ECIDA is constructing a $700,000 warehouse facility providing 20,000-sf of floor space for new projects. The County Commission is excited to see this project and others come to Elmore County through the hard work of ECEDA & ECIDA.
