概要

 Alabama remains a hub of economic momentum and legislative action as Governor Kay Ivey delivered her final State of the State address this week, touting 2025 as the best year for capital investment in state history with roughly $69 billion secured and over 100,000 new jobs created. According to Yellowhammer News, Eli Lilly's $6 billion advanced manufacturing facility in Huntsville, expected to create 450 jobs with construction starting in 2026, stands out as a monumental win amid national competition[3]. Infrastructure advances include over $2 billion from the Rebuild Alabama program funding 500 road and bridge projects across all 67 counties, plus broadband expansion lifting the state to 24th nationally, per Governor Ivey's office[4][8]. At the Port of Mobile, a $100 million federal overhaul of Pier B South promises modernized breakbulk cargo handling by mid-2026, alongside the $94 million Montgomery Intermodal Container Transfer Facility set for 2027 operations, as reported by GetTransport[11].

In politics, the legislature kicked off its regular session introducing 449 bills, including proposals for 2 percent pay raises for teachers and state employees, a record $9.9 billion Education Trust Fund budget, and expanded CHOOSE Act funding, according to Alabama Reporter and JD Supra[2][6]. The Senate unanimously repealed a 2025 Smith Lake annexation law amid local opposition[2], while Governor Ivey signed Executive Order 742 to join the federal Education Freedom Tax Credit program, effective 2027[12]. WBHM reports commissioners will reconvene Tuesday on Alabama Public Television's PBS ties, following public support to maintain the contract through June[1]. Education gains feature improved math and reading scores, doubled specialty schools, and a push for veteran teaching certificates[4][14]. State Rep. Debbie Wood plans to resign her seat by month's end, per Alabama Daily News[5].

Community efforts highlight a Saturn 1B rocket replica nearing installation at the I-65 welcome center with $7 million state funding[1], though tragedy struck with eight-year-old Sarah Marsh from Mountain Brook among flood victims in Texas[5]. No major local weather events dominate, but ABC 33/40 warns of a potential winter storm this weekend[9].

Looking Ahead: Watch the legislative session for school safety funding, child assault penalties, and flood-notification systems; Eli Lilly groundbreaking; and PBS commission decisions.
