Kickstart spring with these fast facts about Birmingham

For the past decade, Slade LLC has been serving many different industries with general contracting and environmental consulting out of its hometown of Birmingham, Ala.

As spring begins and you spend more time outdoors, we invite you to spend time in our city and discover why it’s a fantastic place to live and work. We think so much of it that we decided to share a few fast facts to provide some perspective on one of our favorite places in the U.S.

With a population of more than 212,000, Birmingham is a sizable city—the largest in Alabama. We’re also vibrant and young—more than one in five residents is under 18 years of age, meaning there are many families to support our local schools and future jobs that will be created here.

We also have an incredible array of technologically advanced businesses helping people improve their quality of life. For example, University Hospital is one of the top locations for kidney transplants anywhere in the world, according to BirminghamAL.org.

Our community is loyal to those who have made sacrifices to protect our personal freedoms: We are the home of the oldest Veterans Day celebration around.

This spring, we hope you take a moment to enjoy our region, whether you live here or are passing through on vacation. Birmingham, you make us proud.
