The Beasley Allen Report's host, Gibson Vance, discusses the city's future with Montgomery, Ala., Mayor Todd Strange. Strange, born and raised in Mobile, Ala., came to Montgomery in 1977 to work at Blount, Inc. He eventually opened a car dealership with partner Winton Blount. After 10 years, that venture ended. He served as Director of the Alabama Development Office before running for the County Commission in 2003, where he eventually served as Chairman. When former Mayor Bobby Bright was elected to Congress in 2009, Strange threw his name in the ring to fill his spot, and was elected Mayor of Montgomery. He was recently re-elected to his first full term by an 82 percent margin. In 2010 the Alabama Development Office recognized Montgomery as the number one job creation city in the state. The City also has been successful in expanding existing businesses, such as Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama. Gibson talks with Mayor Strange about the progress made in Downtown Montgomery, which is still continuing as development extends along the corridor leading to Maxwell Air Force Base, and on historic Dexter Avenue. In addition to these projects, Mayor Strange says he tries to keep his vision broad in order to enrich all areas of the city. Other issues discussed include crime prevention and public safety, as well as education and quality of life.
