Montgomery Whitewater to host swiftwater rescue training under Innovate Alabama grant

County staff presented a subrecipient agreement between Montgomery County and the Montgomery County Community Cooperative District for an Innovate Alabama grant to support Swiftwater Rescue training at Montgomery Whitewater.

Staff said the grant's majority will be used to purchase equipment and support program development, and that the county will exercise financial oversight over the project's expenditures. County officials praised the training complex as an emergency‑response asset that will reduce the need to send personnel out of state for similar training.

The commission thanked Innovate Alabama and local organizers and recorded the agreement for the agenda; the transcript reflects a positive reception but does not list a formal vote outcome in this information session.
