A walk through the streets of Old Alabama Town is like a step back in time. However, inside the buildings lining those streets will be technology that is ahead of its time.
Uniti Fiber and the Landmarks Foundation have joined to bring 21st century technology to the 19th century Old Alabama Town attraction in downtown Montgomery. Uniti is an internet service company founded in Mobile
“Old Alabama Town is an authentic representation of southern life in the 1800s but, like any other business, we need modern, high-speed, broadband internet in order to operate,” Landmarks Foundation Executive Director Collier Neeley said. “We had no previous high-speed provider, so when Uniti Fiber was willing to step up and make five circuits available for our use, we were excited by the opportunity.”
Old Alabama Town is 50 authentically restored 19th and early 20th century structures
that stretch through six blocks in historic downtown Montgomery. The buildings include a history museum and commercial real estate properties available for rent; all are overseen by the Landmarks Foundation.
Jody Melancon, an account executive with Uniti Fiber, said the Landmarks Foundation
partnership is part of the company’s overall expansion of services in the capital city. The company recently had a ribbon-cutting at the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce.
“Acquiring a new customer is always worthy of celebration, but when Uniti partners with a
group like the Landmarks Foundation, we know that the services we provide are improving the community and making an already special attraction even better,” Melancon said. “We look forward to significantly growing and expanding Uniti’s presence in Montgomery, and we deeply appreciate the ribbon-cutting ceremony that the local chamber held in honor of our company’s commitment to the River Region.”
