JeffCo Commission to Steve Ammons: ‘Now It’s Time to Say Goodbye’

The Jefferson County Commission today bid farewell to Steve Ammons, who attended his final commission meeting as a member of that body. Ammons recently announced that he’s stepping down from the commission to be the CEO of the Birmingham Business Alliance.
Commissioner Lashunda Scales acknowledged that she and Ammons didn’t always get along when they began their time together. But their relationship has improved, she said.

Ammons Says It Wasn’t His Day Despite the News of His Resigning to Become BBA CEO

Steve Ammons said he is not a bad father looking to upstage his daughter on her graduation day.
“This is her day,” the Jefferson County Commissioner said. “This is her day and it’s Cinco de Mayo. I am the last.”
A host of journalists seeking comment from Ammons might disagree. On the day that daughter Taylor McGill received her associate degree in veterinary tech from Jefferson State Community College, Ammons resigned from the commission and was named the new CEO for the Birmingham Business Alliance, the region’s primary economic development agency.
Ammons leaves his post as District 5 commissioner at the end of the month. A special election will be called to select his replacement. He’ll start his new role at BBA on May 30 and will be responsible for leading collaboration among BBA and its community partners across the seven-county region. Read more.
