The Alabama Federation of Republican Women (AFRW) hosted an annual summer luncheon and meeting featuring Nick Adams, Fox News personality, author, and founder of Foundation of Liberty and Greatness (FLAG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing high-quality civics education that teaches students and families about the power of the American Dream. It was an honor to deliver the Pledge of Allegiance and share ideas with friends from around our state. #MAGA #Our67     It was great to be in Montgomery this morning for a Chamber of Commerce Eggs and Issues Breakfast with Congressman Mike Rogers, members of the Montgomery delegation, and business leaders from around the River Region. Highlights included a discussion on Space Force and what it means for national security as well as the Alabama aerospace industry. #Our67   Distribution centers are one of the State of Alabama’s foundational business targets, meaning services they provide support a myriad of industries within our state. Products distributed through the Gateway Tire Southeast facility, for example, contribute to Alabama’s position as a leader in the automotive industry.
Gateway Tire has been in business since 1929. Their presence will create jobs, opportunities, and will serve as a catalyst for future projects in Dothan and the Wiregrass area. Thank you, Gateway Tire Southeast, for your investment in Alabama.

This year marks the first year that Calhoun Community College hosted CAFY. Thank you to all who contributed to this event. This is the quality of life that folks have grown to expect - businesses, nonprofits, and local government joining together for the common good. #Our67               Meet Toffee, the sweet little puppy from Huntsville who captivated the hearts of folks around the world. Toffee made it out of the 50-foot cave and into the arms of a new family, thanks to brave rescuers and A New Leash on Life! #Our67       Since 1969, Talladega Superspeedway has been a part of Alabama societal and cultural history. The superspeedway generates an economic impact of approximately $400+ million per year for our state, and the venue boosts Alabama tourism and is part of the quality of life that locals expect.
The infield amenities aimed to enhance the fan experience will open in 2019, just in time for the Alabama Bicentennial and 50 years of Talladega Superspeedway.

We informally discussed rural economic development and strategies for smaller communities. I look forward to visiting again very soon. #Our67  It was an honor to attend Vintage Cafe's ribbon cutting ceremony in Montgomery today. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and the crowd awaiting to celebrate in the proprietors' achievements is a testament to the power of small businesses and the importance of shopping locally for goods and services. Many blessings to owner Jud and Martha Blount on their newest endeavor. I know they will do well! #Our67  GOOD NEWS: Through collaboration and leadership, Alabama has fostered an environment conducive for economic growth. Governor Ivey, the Alabama Department of Commerce, and thousands of members of the public and private sector work daily to make Alabama a place where a myriad of industries can grow and prosper.
Economic development is a continuous process of cultivating relationships, investing in human capital, and working with communities to find their hidden talent within. We work together as a team, and ultimately, it is that heart and the quality of life people experience in Alabama that solidifies every project.

As our population grows and we develop land to accommodate various industries and new residents, we can do so responsibly. From a cultural standpoint, it is important that we retain what it means to be Alabama - the land, the nature, the beauty - all of these elements contribute to our quality of life and can be integrated into the city-building process. The Land Trust of North Alabama is dedicated to this mission, and it is refreshing. Keep up the great work, Land Trust. #Our67  Thank you to the Colbert County Republican Party for the invitation to be a part of an informative meeting this evening. We discussed a wide range of topics including ways to support Governor Kay Ivey, road/infrastructure funding, mental health challenges in rural areas, community events, high school football, and more. This core group of folks in the public and private sector is dedicated to making Colbert County a great place to live. #Our67  A fine group of folks met this morning at the Madison County Republican Men's Breakfast. Judge Bill Cole certainly has the best way to run - unopposed in the general election on Tuesday 6 November! #VoteGOP #alpolitics  What a great day throughout the state of Alabama, as grassroots teams met in every metropolitan area to volunteer for our Governor Kay Ivey! There are many ways you can show your support from now through Tuesday 6 November - telephone calls, door-to-door, sign displays, bumper stickers, and most importantly, with your vote. Please send a message if you would like to get involved, and I will route you to the local field representative in your area. #TeamIvey #Our67 #ThankYou  Thank you to the Blount County-Oneonta Agri-Business Center for hosting the 2018 Vegetable Festival. We enjoyed interacting with and purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers. #FarmingFeedsAlabama #Our67  Airports affect employment directly and indirectly and serve as a catalyst for economic growth due to their capacity to move people and cargo. The economic benefits can only be reaped, however, when airports are maintained (and funded) properly and utilized by consumers, which is why the FAA grants will be such a blessing for our state.
When operated efficiently, smaller, local airports (most of the recipients of the FAA grants), facilitate regional economic development. The grants are aimed to do just that – provide maintenance funds so the airports can maximize efficiency and productivity. Thank you to Senator Shelby and to all of the policymakers who worked on behalf of Alabamians to improve aviation in both urban and rural areas. http://www.alreporter.com/2018/07/20/shelby-announces-25-5-million-for-statewide-airport-infrastructure/ Perhaps the best photograph my son and daughter have ever taken together, and still my favorite photograph of all-time -  Ivey announces Carpenter Technology Corporation plans for Alabama Emerging Technology Center7/19/2018
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3-D printing, refers to the process of building parts through the combination of material, layer-by-layer, from a CAD file. The Emerging Technology Center will allow Carpenter employees to conduct research and development of new alloys and 3-D printed parts that will primarily be utilized within aerospace and energy markets.
Carpenter’s addition to its existing 500,000 square foot facility in Athens (Limestone County) is a testament to north Alabama’s rich technological history and demonstrates confidence in our state’s workforce. Thank you, Carpenter Technology Corporation, for your continued investment in Alabama. #Our67 Alabama Political Reporter Article: http://www.alreporter.com/2018/07/19/ivey-announces-carpenter-technology-corporation-plans-for-alabama-emerging-technology-center/ Tuesday 17 July is a very important primary runoff election. Here is a reminder to get out and vote. Six statewide offices are on the ballot, along with local races with runoff opposition in certain areas of our state. Polls are open from 7AM to 7PM. #Our67  Thank you to the Colbert County Extension for hosting the annual Tomato Sandwich Day, held on the lawn of the Colbert County Courthouse in conjunction with Tuscumbia Second Saturdays. Some of the best tomatoes in our state with friends from the northwestern part of our state - #Our67      Photo credit: Danny McWilliams Teamwork and Heart: It was refreshing to hear Shipt’s CEO Bill Smith share the company’s story of commitment to family, excellence, human capital, and future generations. Smith, originally from Birmingham, brainstormed the idea after a trip to the grocery store with his wife and small children. Smith sought to make the shopping process easier and within three weeks, 1,000 Birmingham residents signed on before he wrote the first lines of Shipt’s code.
The evolution of Project Unicorn (Shipt), a product created as a result of an entrepreneurial spirit, is a testament to our state’s inherent values of family, hard-work, dedication, and persistence. The estimated 881 highly-skilled jobs created over time showcase our state’s positioning as a leader in technology and innovation. Congratulations, Birmingham and Jefferson County, on this win, and thank you to Shipt for choosing to expand your operations within Alabama. http://www.alreporter.com/2018/07/13/shipt-announces-over-800-new-jobs-in-the-birmingham-area/ |
