Please vote August 27!
My name is Jim McCamy,
and I'm running for Mayor
I was born and raised in Scottsboro and my roots run deep in our community. I raised all three of my children here, where they graduated from the Scottsboro City Schools. Before I was elected mayor, I spent more than thirty years serving and protecting the public and learned a great deal about economic development in North Alabama along the way.
It has been my honor to represent Scottsboro to all levels of government during the last four years and I believe the positive progress and growth in Scottsboro can continue if I am fortunate enough to be re-elected your mayor. It is imperative that we continue to work with local, state, and federal leaders to make sure our issues are heard and addressed. I will continue to have an open-door policy to communicate, collaborate, and cooperate with the city council and department heads to guarantee Scottsboro becomes even more business and build-friendly.
- Brought more than 500 new jobs to Scottsboro
- Brought Chick-fil-a, Whataburger, Publix, TJ Maxx, Five Below, and other national brand retail and restaurants
- Increased total budgeted revenue 22 percent over 4 years
- Increased new and resurfaced streets from 1.3 miles 2021 to 6.1 miles 2024, raising the dollars spent on paving in Scottsboro by almost 600 percent from $265,000 to $1.6M.
- Secured close to $5 million in federal and state grants in last 4 years to improve our city
- Utilized Scottsboro's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding to partner with our Water, Sewer and Gas board to construct a 3.25 mile, 16-inch water main extension that is supporting residential, commercial, and industrial growth, and to improve our recreation complex with the construction of six new pickleball courts
