Madison Chamber to host “State of the Region” at Toyota Field

MADISON – Residents can learn about updates for initiatives and the status of in-progress projects at the upcoming “State of the Region” address.

Madison Chamber of Commerce will present the event on July 28 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. in SportsMED Stadium Club, 500 Trash Panda Way at Toyota Field. Featured speakers will be Limestone County Commission Chairman Collin Daly and Madison County Commission Chairman Ronald ‘Rex’ Vaughn.

Daly grew up in Limestone County on his family’s farm. He is a second-generation public servant. Before his election success in 2018, he worked as a technician at Limestone County Water and Sewer Authority. Currently, he serves as Vice President of the Association of County Commissions of Alabama.

Vaughn, a lifelong resident of Madison County, owns Vaughn Farms; this work led him to advocate for Alabama agriculture.
