About CCED

The Cullman County Economic Development office provides a variety of services. CCED, at the discretion of the Cullman County Commission, assists local municipalities in acquiring funds for community development projects, such as walking trails, parks, boat docks, improvements to community buildings and others. Each year, CCED participates in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Firefighters Assistance Grant Program, aiding local volunteer fire and rescue organizations in obtaining funding for personal protective equipment, operating and training equipment, and vehicles. CCED also aids other county departments in obtaining grant monies and other federal and state funding.

The Cullman County Economic Development office is also responsible for the promotion of Cullman County through this web site, which it maintains along with several other county sites. The office also assists other county offices with the maintenance and updating of their own separate web sites, such as Cullman County Parks & Recreation Department and the county public library system. CCED also aids county offices in the production of audio/visual presentations and other electronic and print documents as well as assisting the County Commission Office's Data Processing Department with computer/networking issues at the courthouse and outlying county offices.

CCED also works closely with the Cullman County Industrial Development Authority, facilitating and hosting board meetings, and with the Cullman Economic Development Agency, who handle industrial recruitment for the area, as well as with the Cullman Area Chamber of Commerce.
