January 8, 2021 By Frank McCormack The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development Authority has named Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey as the group’s chair for 2021. Ivey, who became governor in 2017 after former Gov. Robert Bentley resigned, is in the midst of her first full term as the state’s top elected official.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers launched the deepening and widening project in 2020.
