Gov. Kay Ivey will make a “major economic development announcement” in Athens on Wednesday, according to a media advisory released Tuesday by her office.

There was no immediate word Tuesday about the details of the announcement.

City of Athens officials declined to comment beyond a short statement from Mayor Ronnie Marks. The Athens announcement described the event as an "industrial announcement."

“Gov. Ivey has announced she will be joining us for the announcement, and we look forward to welcoming her to Athens and sharing more information on Wednesday afternoon,” Marks said in the statement.

The event will take place Wednesday afternoon at Athens City Hall.

Athens is located in Limestone County, site of the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA facility that’s in the Huntsville city limits. That development, the largest economic development announcement in state history, calls for a $1.6 billion investment and the creation of 4,000 jobs.
