MONTGOMERY – Governor Kay Ivey on Friday announced Alabama Department of Commerce Secretary Greg Canfield will step down at the end of the year after serving in the post for 12 years. The governor has tapped Ellen McNair, an economic development veteran, to serve as the next secretary of Commerce.
“Throughout my time as governor, we have proudly solidified Alabama as a top state for doing business, and no doubt, Greg has been a key part of that success.
