1. With Trader Joe’s opening this week, the Rocket City isn’t slowing down. The MidCity Amphitheater had a hard hat tour for some community leaders last week and is on track to open in May! (WZDX)
2. The National Cyber Summit is happening now in Huntsville! Summit planners worked for 18 months to plan this year’s events safely. Many of the in-depth conversations would be hard to have over Zoom, so it was important to do it safely in-person. (WHNT)
3. The president of the National School Association of Secondary School Principals, Gregg Wieczorek, paid a visit to James Clemens yesterday. Wieczorek got to tour the school and was impressed with how they are preparing students for colleges and careers. (WAAY)
4. The South Huntsville Public Library is NOW OPEN! The HATCH Cafe will be open earlier than the library and close at the same time. (Press Release Desk)
5. Darden Restaurants donated new refrigerated trucks to the Food Bank of North Alabama. They coupled this gift with a $26,000 donation! 10 total food banks across the country received this gift. (Darden)
