Governor Kay Ivey's State of the State Address

Tuesday evening we were honored to attend Governor Kay Ivey's State of the State Address. A refreshing theme resonated in the Old House Chamber - Alabama’s business climate is strong. Economic development is a team effort, and our Governor has worked with the public and private sector to foster an environment conducive for businesses, small and large.

Quality of life and education go hand-in-hand with economic development efforts. Governor Ivey reaffirmed a commitment to education with a goal that Alabama’s K-12 students will rank within the top 30 states for reading and math proficiency by 2026.

Governor Ivey called a Special Session to allocate ARPA funds and once again, cautioned recipients that this is one-time funding and not to be used as a mechanism to fund positions or maintenance requests that will need ongoing revenue to support.
