Alabama Honors Governor Kay Ivey with Office Building

0:00It's March 27. You're listening to Birmingham News today, AI-powered local news. Alabama's House of Representatives just passed a resolution to honor Governor Kay Ivey by naming a state office building in Montgomery after her. The building houses the Attorney General's office at 501 Washington Avenue and 38 lawmakers co-sponsored the measure. It calls on the state renovation finance authority to officially rename it, the Kay Ivey office building, add her name to the exterior, put up signs, and display the resolution in the lobby. This nod parallels another state building named for former Governor Lerling Wallace, whom Ivey admired. Ivey has led Alabama since 2017, but faces term limits and cannot run again in 2026 with just six days left in the legislative session wrapping up her era on a high note.
