Project Funding includes $5 Million for Airport

By Brandon K. Pierce Alabama Ledger

• Waterloo Bridge Replacement (Lauderdale County) — $7,000,000 for a new bridge supporting commerce and safer transport. • Winston County Road Resurfacing — $1,553,000 for resurfacing key roads leading to popular recreation areas. • Tuscaloosa National Airport Terminal Improvements — $8,500,000 to design and renovate the terminal for future travel growth. • Affordable Housing in Hanceville — $2,540,000 to build a tiny-home village with childcare support for students at Wallace State Community College. • Lauderdale County Agriculture Multipurpose Complex — $1,500,000 for a new facility supporting agricultural education and workforce training. Aderholt noted that funding has already been secured in related appropriations for rural health clinic construction, medical equipment upgrades, and education/training tools for nurses and technical workers with a total of almost $60 million for Alabama's Fourth District. “Some members do not support these targeted projects, and prefer to let agencies in Washington decide how the money is spent. But I feel like I know the needs of the Fourth District better than an unelected bureaucrat who has never even set foot in Alabama,’ wrote Aderholt “And also let me just say, that despite what you may have read or seen elsewhere about this budget we passed, no projects fund abortion or gender transition surgeries.” Throughout the country we are expanding manufacturing and hiring more workers and doing so in places like Fort Payne where we already have a great workforce, a robust pipeline of talent, and strong partnerships with the community.” "Siemens Energy's expansion in Fort Payne is a tremendous vote of confidence in the highly skilled local workforce and underscores the strong community partnerships with business in our state," said Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair. "We are excited to watch this new phase of growth unfold and stand ready to help the company achieve its future strategic goals and innovations.” “Existing industries like Siemens Energy are the backbone of DeKalb County’s growing economy,” said Brett Johnson, executive director of the DeKalb County Economic Development Authority. “As a major employer, Siemens Energy’s continued reinvestment creates long- term stability, higher-wage jobs, and sustained economic growth for our communities. The work being done at the Siemens Energy manufacturing plant in Fort Payne is literally helping generate reliable power around the globe, and that is the kind of work we can all be proud to say is made right here in DeKalb County, Alabama.” “These are the kinds of high-quality, advanced manufacturing jobs that strengthen families and elevate our workforce,” said Fort Payne Mayor Brian Baine. “This manufacturing investment will transform the trajectories of 120 families across our region and create a wider ripple effect throughout our local economy. Investments like these create new opportunities for small businesses, workforce development, and our entire community. We welcome this investment and stand ready to support Siemens Energy throughout the process.” At a recent meeting, SIDA approved 12 SEEDS site assessment grants valued at more than $3 million, primarily for activities such as environmental and geotechnical surveys of early-stage industrial sites. The grants will benefit sites located in Blount, Walker, DeKalb, Autauga, Bibb, Lowndes, Jefferson, Russell, Pike and Perry counties. DeKalb and Jefferson counties each have two benefiting sites. This includes $41,041 for the Town of Fyffe and $16,016 for Collinsville in DeKalb County. SIDA also approved nine SEEDS site development grants valued at $12.7 million for activities including land purchases, as well as site clearing, grading and other preparation. They are headed to sites in Colbert, Geneva, Baldwin, Talladega, Covington, Pike, Jackson, Tuscaloosa and Marion counties.

Congressman Robert Aderholt has announced through his newsletter that he recently joined US President Donald Trump and witnessed the signing of several appropriation bills into law. “With the exception of the Department of Homeland Security, these bills will fund the federal government through the remainder of Fiscal Year 2026,” wrote Aderholt in his newsletter. “These bills will also fund several projects in Alabama's Fourth District that I specifically requested.” The multi-million dollar funding will help with projects such as Transportation and Infrastructure, Airport upgrades, Community Development, as well as Rural and Economic Support. One of the Airport projects highlighted by Aderholt is for an expansion at the Albertville Regional Airport. This includes $5,000,000 to clear land and prepare for new hangars and runway expansion. Other projects of interest from around Alabama that was listed in Aderholt’s newsletter include: • I-22 Connector Feasibility Studies — $5,000,000 for planning a major north/south corridor to enhance safety and economic mobility in Winston and Franklin Counties. • U.S. 278/SR 69 St. Bernard Bridge Replacement (Cullman) — $13,500,000 to replace the aging bridge, widen access, and add pedestrian/bike lanes. The DeKalb County Economic Development Authority, in partnership with the City of Fort Payne, has announced that Siemens Energy plans to expand operations at its Fort Payne manufacturing location, creating 120 new advanced manufacturing jobs. The capital commitment is part of Siemens Energy’s national announcement of more than $1 billion in U.S. manufacturing investment that will create 1,500 new jobs nationwide while strengthening domestic energy infrastructure and supply chains. Siemens Energy is a global energy technology leader headquartered in Germany and currently employs approximately 250 highly skilled workers at its Fort Payne manufacturing plant, which opened in 1988. According to the DeKalb County Economic Development Authority, this growth announcement positions the company to become one of the top five manufacturing employers in the county based on current manufacturing employment levels, further reinforcing DeKalb County’s role as a key contributor to advanced manufacturing in Alabama’s growing energy sector. The new positions will support increased production capacity at its Fort Payne facility, providing additional high-quality employment opportunities. Specifically, Siemens will expand production of copper and insulated electrical components for power-generation equipment at the site. In announcing the company’s U.S. investment plans, Siemens Energy’s President of North America, Matt Neal, said, “Twenty-five percent of the power generated in the United States relies on Siemens Energy technology and that process starts here in Alabama. We need more electricity to fuel our daily lives and our growing economy and that has increased demand for our equipment. sites statewide. “SEEDS has proven to be a game-changer for Alabama’s economic development, helping communities across our state compete for the transformative projects that create jobs and build prosperity,” said Governor Ivey. “With 77 sites now approved for funding across three rounds, SEEDS continues to deliver on its promise. We’re already seeing major companies choose Alabama because we’ve invested in making our sites ready for development.” “With 28 rural counties receiving SEEDS support, economic opportunity is reaching every corner of Alabama,” added Governor Ivey. The Round 3 SEEDS applications will be matched with $12.3 million in local contributions, supporting 21 industrial sites.

Alabama Governor Kay Ivey has announced that the State Industrial Development Authority (SIDA) has approved 21 grants totaling $15.7 million under the Site Evaluation and Economic Development Strategy (SEEDS) program. The grant program is designed to strengthen Alabama’s competitiveness in securing large-scale economic development projects by accelerating the development of industry-ready sites. This is the third round of SEEDS, which has helped dozens of communities with land purchases, site preparation, environmental surveys, infrastructure improvements and other work to aid in attracting strategic and targeted projects that create quality, high- paying jobs.

A traffic stop recently uncovered 600 gallons of diesel fuel and led to a multi-state fuel theft arrest. According to DeKalb County Sheriff Nick Welden, on Monday, February 2, at approximately 2:20 a.m. a deputy conducted a traffic stop on a U-HAUL van traveling eastbound on Highway 117 in Mentone near East River Road. During the traffic stop, the deputy noticed the driver was hauling large tanks containing approximately 600 gallons of diesel fuel stowed improperly within the rear of the van. The driver, identified as Michel Alvarez (age 42 of Los Angeles, CA), did not possess a CDL or have any of the proper paperwork or documentation required to haul Motor Vehicle Fuel in the state of Alabama. “This traffic stop uncovered a large, multi- state fuel theft operation that posed a serious threat to public safety. Because of the Deputy’s attention to detail, a dangerous situation was prevented and helped stop illegal activity at truck stops across the country.” During a subsequent search of the vehicle, a bag containing electrical switches, wiring, remotes, and battery packs was found which raised suspicions when coupled with such a large amount of diesel fuel in close proximity.

Investigators later learned that Alvarez was conducting a sophisticated multi-state diesel fuel theft which consisted of illegally hijacking diesel pumps at truck stops across the country. Alvarez had traveled from New Jersey down the east coast gaining access to an unknown number of diesel fuel pumps to essentially "scam" the pumps into dispensing fuel without paying. At the conclusion of the initial investigation, Alvarez was arrested and charged with Felony Unlawful Motor Vehicle Fuel Transport, Receiving Stolen Property 1st, and Possession of Burglary Tools. The Department of Homeland Security was also notified and are assisting in this case. This is an ongoing investigation, and other charges may be pending.

the people on the edge of the mountain before rural free delivery became available from Boaz and Crossville.” It would take the potters about a month to make around 500 gallon pieces of pottery, which at that time would sell for around 10 cents per gallon, or a total of $50 for the months labor. The pottery was sold all around Northeast Alabama and at saloons in the Gadsden area. “They went down the mountain by either the Belcher’s Gap or Horton’s Gap road, across the intervening valleys, and up over the edge of Lookout Mountain, via the Noccalula Falls road, to get to Gadsden. The trip took two days,” wrote Countryman. Some pieces were also carried North into the Rome, Georgia area, while customers traveled from as far away as Limestone County to purchase the pottery. There is much more that could be said about the history of Sand Mountain Pottery, as well as various other types of collectible southern pottery. There are different types of craftsmanship and glazes, as well as terms such as combing and double- dipping. All of these are factors when calculating the value of Sand Mountain Pottery. In today’s market, the value of Sand Mountain Pottery could range from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars. Do you have any old pottery sitting on the shelf? Could it be Sand Mountain Pottery? If you want to find out, start by checking for the smooth gray bottom and the handle thumbprint. Also, maybe consider having it looked at by a certified appraiser. The value could be worth more than you think!

It is said that the potters had to be aware of the amount of sand in the white clay, as too much would make it unusable. Countryman added that the McPherson family would gather rock from down the mountain, grind it up and mix it with ashes to make some of the pottery turn out “Red”. Most types of Sand Mountain Pottery can be identified by the smooth clay gray bottom, as well as the red tint. Another identifying factor in most, but not all, of Sand Mountain Pottery is a thumb print at the bottom of the handle. “The thing that all of the loop-handled pieces have in common, aside from the clay, is a thumbprint at the terminal of the handle,” wrote Countryman. “The potter seems to have attached the end of the handle to the body of the piece, wiped the clay around it with a circular motion, then pressed the end of a finger or thumb into it, leaving a round indentation or thumbprint.” Additionally, some pottery was marked or stamped.

of Alabama is one of the most scenic areas of the state and home to iconic landmarks such as Little River Canyon and Noccalula Falls, as well as numerous hills, valleys, and lakes. Some of the valleys and hills provide natural resources, including clay that was used to make what is now known as Sand Mountain Pottery. During the mid to late 1800’s the Belcher’s Gap area of DeKalb County was home to the McPherson and Henry families, both of whom were known to be potters. It is believed they dug up clay near the Rodentown area and used it for the now iconic and collectible pottery. Ron Countryman wrote in a book titled ‘Pottery from the Mountains of Alabama’ that some folks called the clay “jug mud.” He described this as “a mixture of white clay from down the mountain and blue clay from on the mountain.” Down the mountain, referred to the area known as Duck Springs in Etowah County.

This is a Sand Mountain Creamer with Combing (decorative lines) around it. It was recently listed for sale at $4,500 at Harris Furniture & Antiques in Centre. Combing is one of the techniques used on Sand Mountain Pottery. Some other value pottery pieces were also double dipped, meaning they were dipped twice into the glaze. Photo by Brandon K.

“A three-gallon churn and a five-gallon jug which bear the stamp of E.E. McPherson have been seen,” noted Countryman. “The churn is marked E.E. McPherson Mfr./RFD 2

Boaz, Ala. and the jug is marked E.E. McPherson Mfr. Duck Springs, Ala.” T.J. Henry’s stamp has also been found on a churn, a loop-handle bowl, beehive-shaped jugs, and

bell-shaped pitchers. It is identified as “T.J. Henry/ D.S. Ala.” Countryman noted that the D.S. represented Duck Springs. “The Duck Springs post office served

Rural Health Group Holds First Meeting Alabama Governor Kay Ivey recently participated in the first meeting of the Alabama Rural Health Transformation Advisory Group, which she established by Executive Order to advance policy development and implementation of Alabama’s Rural Health Transformation Program (ARHTP). The advisory group’s first meeting is a major milestone since the state was notified by the Trump Administration of its $203,404,327 award for year-one funding to support the ARHTP. The inaugural meeting was "an important step toward implementation of our rural health strategy,” said Governor Ivey. “The Trump Administration has entrusted Alabama with significant funding to make generational reforms to an important but struggling portion of our health care system. We have an excellent group of legislators to help us be successful, and I am excited to see what they come up with.” Members of the Alabama Rural Health Transformation Advisory Group include House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter, Senate President Pro Tem Garlan Gudger, Sen. Greg Albritton, Sen. Clyde Chambliss, Sen. Donnie Chesteen, Sen. Bobby Singleton, Rep. Anthony Daniels, Rep. Jamie Kiel, Rep. Rex Reynolds and Rep. Pebblin Warren. During the meeting, advisory group members selected Sen. Chesteen and Rep. Kiel to serve as chair and vice chair. An overview of the program was given by Kenneth Boswell, director of the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs (ADECA), the agency responsible for administering the program. Members also asked questions and discussed processes, timelines and potential legislative action to support the state’s implementation efforts. Governor Ivey added, “In addition to ensuring our healthcare investments are efficient and sustainable, I hope this group will help develop legislative and other policy changes to ensure our initiatives are effective long- term. To turn around our rural healthcare system – to make it financially sustainable and available to deliver lifesaving care to all Alabamians – we must rethink how things have always been done. That means thinking critically about policies, regulations and even the way healthcare providers operate.” During her state of the state address on January 13, Governor Ivey said, “And to our healthcare leaders in the state: I challenge you to work with us in thinking outside the-box and identifying new partners as we strive to improve health care in Alabama.” The federal Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) was established by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which Congress approved and President Trump signed into law on July 4, 2025. “The Alabama Rural Health Transformation Program represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to strengthen healthcare access in our rural communities,” said Sen. Chesteen. “By bringing together legislative leaders and healthcare stakeholders, we are positioning Alabama to make smart, sustainable reforms that will improve patient outcomes and ensure rural hospitals and providers can continue serving families across our state. I look forward to working with Governor Ivey and my colleagues to turn this historic investment into lasting results for the people of Alabama.” The RHTP is a five-year, $50 billion program that empowers states to strengthen rural communities across America by improving healthcare access, quality and outcomes by transforming the healthcare delivery system. “Alabama’s Rural Health Transformation Program is about ensuring that every Alabamian, no matter where they live, has access to the quality care they deserve,” said Rep. Kiel. “We want to build a stronger, healthier future for our rural communities and I am proud to support an initiative that ensures Alabama remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.” Alabama’s program submission, which was awarded the federal funding, is known as the Alabama Rural Health Transformation Program (ARHTP). It includes 11 targeted initiatives to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes in rural Alabama. School Bus Crash Injures Five A multi-vehicle crash involving a school bus at approximately 7:06 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, resulted in five injuries. According to Alabama State troopers, the crash occurred when the 2020 Freightliner Bus driven by Thomas S. Edwards, 56, of Trafford, was struck by the 2014 Nissan Rogue driven by Tanner E. Endaz, 33, of Locust Fork. After initial collision, the Freightliner left the roadway and overturned. A third vehicle, the 2023 Toyota Tacoma driven by Wesley D. Green, 37, of Hayden, left the roadway, struck a culvert and then overturned. Endaz was injured and transported to the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) St. Vincent’s Hospital in Oneonta for medical treatment. Four juvenile passengers on the bus were also injured and transported to a local hospital for treatment. Green was not injured during the crash. The crash occurred on Alabama 79 near Fred Terry Road, approximately three miles south of Locust Fork, in Blount County. Nothing further is available as Troopers with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Highway Patrol Division continue to investigate.
