Investing In Alabama
Merry Christmas
By Brandon K. Pierce Alabama Ledger Alabama is growing. Despite many challenges such as COVID, lack of workers and new rules and mandates established by the current presidential administration, economy data shows that Alabama’s economy is improving and that companies are investing in the state. According to data and information from the web site Made In Alabama, various new projects around the state in 2021, especially in some of the rural areas, could generate at least $850 million in new capital investment and also bring approximately 1,000 new jobs to some of Alabama’s rural counties. “Combined with job creation from 2020, the total rises to almost 3,000 new jobs for rural communities across Alabama, along with around $1.5 billion in investment in that time frame,” noted an article on the Made In Alabama web site. The web site also listed some of the economic development projects announced in 2021. These include: Packaging Corp. of America (PCA) plans to invest $440 million in its mill in rural Clarke County, positioning the Jackson facility for the long-term production of linerboard used in corrugated packages.

By Brandon K. Pierce Publisher The Marshall County Probate office is planning to open a new tag office in downtown Boaz next year. The new location will be near the current farmer's market and the address is 99 Railroad Avenue. "We are very excited to partner with the City of Boaz to bring our services to the citizens," commented Marshall County Probate Judge Andrea LeCroy. "Our goal is to provide a convenient and efficient way for Marshall County citizens to conduct their business."
The new facility could open in early 2022, but a concrete date has not yet been determined due to training new employees and remodeling of the building.

“This is a great arrest by our criminal interdiction team,” said DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden. “These firearms were likely stolen and were on their way to an inner-city area to be sold to criminals.” “These guns could
have been used in future crimes or could have potentially killed someone. This is exactly why being pro-active is so important in law enforcement. Hard work could potentially save someone’s life down the road,” added Welden.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey recently announced that The J.M. Smucker Co. plans to build a new manufacturing facility and distribution center in Alabama, supporting production of Smucker’s Uncrustables, generating large- scale job creation in the Birmingham area. With a total financial investment of $1.1 billion, the facility in the Jefferson County community of McCalla will be constructed over three phases creating up to 750 jobs. The company said investment and job creation will align with the completion of established production milestones for each phase of the project. “Because The J.M Smucker Co. is one of America’s leading consumer packaged goods companies in the food sector, its decision to make a significant investment in Jefferson County represents a powerful endorsement of Alabama’s inviting business environment,” said Governor Ivey. “Not only will the Company’s growth project create a large number of jobs in McCalla, but it will also permit us to build a long-standing relationship with a top consumer brand.” Construction of the facility is expected to begin no later than January 2022, with production commencing in calendar year 2025. “Our Smucker’s Uncrustables brand continues to be one of the fastest growing in our portfolio and in the food sector more broadly. We are proud of the success the brand has achieved, due in no small part to the tremendous efforts of our employees, and we’re excited to take advantage of the opportunities and growth our investments will enable,” said Mark Smucker, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate the support we have received from the state of Alabama and Jefferson County officials, and we look forward to being a part of the greater Birmingham community,” he added. Smucker’s new manufacturing facility at the JeffMet Industrial Complex will mark the third dedicated to Uncrustables sandwiches, alongwith facilities in Scottsville, Kentucky, and Longmont, Colorado. Smucker said the continued demand for the frozen handheld sandwiches has driven the brand’s growth over time to approximately $500 million in annual net sales, demonstrating double-digit net sales growth annually over the past decade. This new facility, and a completed expansion at the Longmont location, will support the Company’s strategy to more than double its current production capacity. With this increased production capacity, the Company expects to grow the Smucker’s Uncrustables brand over the next five years to approximately $1 billion in annual net sales. “Alabama plays host to an impressive roster of world- class corporate partners, and we are excited to add The J.M. Smucker Co. to this lineup,” said Greg Canfield, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “Smucker’s products have long been a favorite in kitchens across America, and it’s great to know that the company’s popular Uncrustable sandwiches will be made right here in Alabama.” Smucker said construction of the facility and production will occur in three phases over multiple years, creating up to 750 jobs. Financial investments and job creation will align with each of the three phases and are contingent on the approval of tax and business incentives and the closing of the transaction to purchase the property where the facility will be located, the Company added. “Smucker’s is a household name, and we are proud they have selected Jefferson County for their next manufacturing facility,” said Commissioner Steve Ammons, chair of the Jefferson County Economic Development Committee. “It’s important for us to recognize the previous Commission and their forethought to add acreage to the Jeffmet Industrial Complex. The McCalla area is hot right now due to useable land availability, interstate access and productive growth potential. We are excited for the continued momentum of job creation for the citizens of Jefferson County and the region as a whole.” Ron Kitchens, CEO of the Birmingham Business Alliance, said this is one of the largest economic development projects in Jefferson County’s recent history, both in capital investment and jobs. “It is a strategic move for Smucker to leverage Birmingham’s strong distribution and logistics network, central location in the Southeast and a shovel-ready site to seize an opportunity for one of its fastest-growing brands,” said Kitchens.

When these students graduate from Gadsden State, they are pretty much guaranteed a job.” According to Made in Alabama, the official website for the Alabama Department of Commerce, over 1 million cars are manufactured inAlabama each year in addition to nearly twice as many engines and countless parts that are sent to manufacturing customers across the globe. Employment in Alabama’s auto industry has increased by 150 percent since 2000. “The automotive industry has given the economy of our state a huge boost while also enriching the lives of its employees and their families,” he said. “I think we will continue to see growth in the industry as Gadsden State and its sister colleges provide advanced training for employees who work at the highest levels.” Gadsden State students who have earned a scholarship from AAMA by major include: Engineering Technology: Alissa Brianne Bearden, Tyler Keith Burnett, and Julio Najera; Industrial Automation: Jeremy Beck; Industrial Maintenance Technology: Seth Andrew Hill; Mechatronics: Logan Blake McLeroy and Timothy Lane Watkins; Automated Manufacturing Technology: Christopher George Curry, Mason Sage Finch, and Joshua Garrett Strickland; FAME/Industrial Maintenance Technology: Luke Davide Devin, Lawrence Tyler Odell Smith, and Jakeb Thomas Grayson Mintz; FAME/ Manufacturing Technology: Joby Dobbs; FAME: Porter Roberts Embry; and Precision Machining: Joshua Pritchard The scholarship covers up to $3,600 of tuition, fees, and books associated with the approved program of study.
