The downtown redevelopment is bringing new life and energy into an area of historic significance. Montgomery is served by Interstate 65 and Interstate 85.

| PRATTVILLE (Autauga County) |
| Prattville is
located about 13 miles from Montgomery. The city is the county seat of
Autauga County. It is nicknamed "The Fountain City" after the artesian
wells in the area. The city was founded in 1839 by well-known
industrialist and architect Daniel Pratt. Interstate 65 runs along Prattville's east border. US Highway 31 bisects the community running north and south, and Alabama Highway 14 crosses from west to east connecting to the city of Millbrook. The proximity to Montgomery has contributed greatly to the growth of the city. It is estimated that 45 percent of Prattvillians work outside of the city, and the majority of these commute to Montgomery. Downtown Montgomery and Maxwell Air Force Base are 15 minutes away. Because of the quality of "Prattville" schools, affordable housing, low crime rate, and nearness to the base, many decide on making Prattville their home. Employment opportunities continue to develop as businesses located to Prattville. International Paper Company, is the largest employer in the area. Several smaller industries in plastics, automotive industry-related manufacturing, packaging and power generation have recently opened. The newly developed Robert Trent Jones Golf Course has brought additional growth to the east of Prattville. Prattville experienced its first growth spurt in the 1960's when the population doubled from 6,616 to 13,116. In 1990, the census reported just under 20,000 with the current population approximately 40,243.

population (year 2000): 10,380, it was estimated the population in July
2005: 14,805 (+42.5% change) Millbrook's strong demographics coupled with its progressive leadership and an aggressive economic development program are reasons why new businesses are locating in the city everyday. Millbrook's Wal-Mart Super Center opened mid-2007 near Interstate 65. This highly visible site along Interstate 65 will be the hub for commercial activity in the near future. Restaurants and other major retailers are locating along this major commercial corridor, Exit 181 Interstate 65 and Highway 14 East. The City of Millbrook has been fortunate through its growth to maintain the small city atmosphere many people are seeking. This has been accomplished by locating commercial development along Alabama State Highways 143 and 14. Residential developments are nestled in quiet areas throughout the city.

| WETUMPKA (Elmore County) |
|
Wetumpka
is the County Seat of Elmore County, and has a projected population of
7,500. Wetumpka offers small-town living with the convenience of
big-city amenities only minutes away in Montgomery. Annual
Special Events include Christmas on the Coosa, the Coosa River
Whitewater Festival, Frontier Days, Riverfest, Earth Day,
Adventure Race, and the Coosa River Challenge.
Abundant in lore and legend, Wetumpka (an Indian term meaning rumbling waters) is rich in aboriginal history. De Soto’s expeditions traversed the area nearly 500 years ago and found a palisade village built around A.D. 1000. In 1717 the French established Fort Toulouse as a military outpost and trading center, which was the beginning of an important trade hub for the entire area and continues to the present. Downtown Wetumpka is located on the banks of the Coosa River where rocks and rapids halt all navigation northward. The Coosa joins the Talapoosa River just south of town to form the Alabama River providing a navigable water route to the Gulf of Mexico. The city sits in the scenic, southern foothills of the Appalachian Mountains with elevation ranging from a low point of 150 feet above sea level on the west side of the Coosa River to a high point of 540 feet on Bald Knob Mountain, the eroded remains of a meteorite crater which blasted into the bedrock millions of years ago.
