概要

 Alabama lawmakers convened in Montgomery today for the 2026 legislative session, the earliest start in an election year to allow time for campaigning ahead of May primaries. According to Alabama Daily News, legislative leaders anticipate swift progress amid healthy state budgets, with optimism for teacher pay raises and subsidies for rising insurance costs despite looming federal funding cuts. This marks Governor Kay Ivey's final session before she leaves office next January, as WBHM reports. State Representative Debbie Wood announced her resignation from her Lee and Chambers counties seat by month's end, per Alabama Daily News, while political eyes turn to emerging 2026 races.

Economically, Alabama buzzes with development. An $11 million federal grant supports Hoover's Broad Metro Stadium Trace Village Phase 2, promising over 300 construction jobs and 200 permanent positions in a mixed-use project with a surgical plaza and retail, according to the Alabama Department of Workforce Development. Jefferson County saw over $400 million in 2025 announcements like the Alabama Farm Credit Center and CMC Steel expansion, with Bham Now noting two more projects worth $814 million and 160 jobs expected soon. Infrastructure advances include Cullman County Schools' expansions at Hanceville Middle, Good Hope Elementary, and a child development center, all targeting 2026 completion to meet enrollment growth, as ABC 3340 reports. TheBamaBuzz highlights 21 projects like Tuscaloosa's President's Mansion preservation, Montgomery's new State House, and Mobile's International Airport, set for late 2026 openings.

Tragically, eight-year-old Sarah Marsh from Mountain Brook perished in Texas floods, with Alabama Daily News confirming her ties to Cherokee Bend Elementary. No major severe weather hit Alabama recently, though the Emergency Management Agency warned of heavy rain and storms through early this weekend.

Looking Ahead: Watch Governor Ivey's State of the State address tonight at 6 PM CST, potential overtime tax cut revivals, high school athletic reforms, and career tech pushes in middle grades.
