State government action remains active. Governor Kay Ivey has set the schedule for a special election in House District 13 to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Matt Woods, now in the Alabama Senate. The dates for the election and any runoffs are set from September 30, 2025, through January 13, 2026, signaling ongoing legislative activity and maintaining representation for parts of Walker County. According to the Tax Foundation, this legislative session also saw the passage of several pro-growth tax reforms, including a 30-day safe harbor for nonresident employees, changes set to bolster Alabama’s business competitiveness into 2026.
In business and the broader economy, Alabama received national recognition, ranking number eight on Forbes Advisor’s 2025 list of best states to start a business. Huntsville, with its expanding research park and technology sector, continues to attract startups, benefiting from a low cost of doing business and a resilient economy. On the international front, state leaders showcased Alabama’s advantages at Germany’s LIGNA 2025 industry fair, strengthening its position in forestry and manufacturing and forging relationships that could drive new investments and job creation.
Community and education news bring further developments. Wallace State Community College secured $2.5 million in state funds for renovations to its student and wellness centers and for new construction, including an Advanced Machining and Manufacturing building. These improvements will update older facilities and enhance programs in digital learning and automotive services, reflecting the legislature’s support for workforce development and infrastructure improvements.
On the public safety front, Birmingham’s new regional waterworks board is moving forward with urgent repairs to the Lake Perie Dam after engineers warned that delays could threaten the structure’s integrity. The near $90 million project, previously approved, is now under a new board structure after a recent state law changed its governance. Additionally, an ICE raid at an Alabama school construction site led to the detention of 37 individuals, a reminder of ongoing immigration enforcement in the state.
Looking Ahead, listeners should watch for the upcoming House District 13 special elections, continued public debate over police accountability, and ongoing infrastructure projects across Alabama. Summer weather remains a concern after recent flooding events in the region and neighboring states. Thanks for tuning in, and don’t forget to subscribe.
