Following an extensive review of all active projects involving offers from the state with Canfield, Ivey gave her approval to potential new-facility and expansion deals now in the works. The review included an analysis of job creation and capital investment, as well as incentives and revenue generation for the state.

“As Alabama’s governor, I am focused on creating high-paying jobs and meaningful opportunity for the citizens of this state,” Ivey said. “I want to elevate Alabama’s success in business recruitment, and working closely with our economic development team will be a top priority of my administration.”Canfield, who has served as Alabama’s top economic development official since 2011, said Ivey’s support allows Commerce and its allies to continue pursuing significant economic development projects already under negotiation.
