By: Jerry Underwood

Gov. Kay Ivey today announced she has received a forward-thinking economic strategic plan presented by Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair. Designed to guide the state’s growth through the next decade and beyond, the plan is intended to cement Alabama’s status as a leader in economic development.

This comprehensive plan — called Catalyst — replaces the state’s previous framework, Accelerate Alabama, which has driven $67 billion in capital investment and nearly 170,000 job commitments since 2012.

Ivey emphasized the necessity of a modernized approach to power sustainable economic growth for the state.
