Members of the Alabama Department of Commerce Workforce Region 5 Council were hosted by the Lake Martin Area Economic Development Authority and toured industrial plants and education centers in Alexander City Wednesday to learn about workforce development in the area.

With 13 counties in the region, Region 5 Council member Alfred Davis thinks it is important to see what others are doing in Region 5 and maybe take little bits and pieces back to there own counties.
