What is the North Jefferson Innovation Center?
We are a Center for advancing business, arts, and education in the North Jefferson area. We host a number of events, programs, and training to foster entrepreneurship and encourage a thriving art community. Along with the large conference room for events and training, we also have different sizes of offices that serve as an incubator for new and emerging businesses to grow and advance their services/products.
Through collaboration with the North Jefferson Chamber of Commerce, Central Alabama Redevelopment Alliance, and the Impact Arts Council, the facility will be home to a variety of opportunities where entrepreneurs, artists, and educators can
connect, collaborate, and thrive – advancing a diverse, innovative, and inclusive future for the North Jefferson County area.
