概要

 Alabama's legislature advanced key bills this week, including a measure passed by the Senate to limit state environmental regulations to federal standards or best available science, as reported by JD Supra. The Child Predator Death Penalty Act, making first-degree sexual offenses against children under 12 capital crimes, heads to Governor Kay Ivey's desk, according to legislative updates from JD Supra and News from the States. Lawmakers also introduced reforms to data center tax incentives, capping abatements at 20 years from 2027, and a bill restructuring Public Service Commission appointments to gubernatorial and legislative picks.

In Mobile, city leaders discussed infrastructure upgrades during a February 10 pre-council meeting, approving cooperative agreements for Rangeline Road maintenance with the Alabama Department of Transportation and Southwest Mobile Chamber, alongside ditch improvements along Springdale Boulevard and Slava Creek, per City of Mobile records. Economic momentum surges with Governor Ivey announcing $15.7 million in SEEDS grants for 21 sites across rural counties like Blount and Walker, boosting site readiness for industry, as stated by the Governor's office and ABC 3340.

Business thrives in steel and manufacturing: U.S. Steel invests $75 million in Fairfield for energy pipe production, ArcelorMittal commits $1.2 billion to electrical steel in Mobile County, and Eli Lilly plans a $6 billion Huntsville drug facility creating 450 jobs, per Site Selection and Huntsville announcements. Education sees a win with the completion of the new 215,000-square-foot Benjamin Russell High School in Alexander City, featuring gyms, an auditorium, and storm shelter, courtesy of Doster Construction.

No major severe weather hit recently, though ABC 3340 forecasts 1-3 inches of rain over Valentine's weekend with mild 60s highs.

Looking Ahead: The legislature reconvenes Tuesday with three-day weeks possible to wrap by mid-April; watch Mobile Bay dredging bill and data center reforms. Huntsville Council votes soon on Eli Lilly incentives.
