Reed was named to position after previous chairman died.
Ivey appointed Reed to the position on June 6 following the death of longtime Chairman James Hutcheson, who passed away on May 3. In appointing Reed chairman, Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said Reed was known throughout north Alabama and the state as a successful business man and community leader.
“Reed’s many achievements in business have literally paved the way for economic growth and prosperity in the Tennessee Valley and at home in Marshall County,” the governor said. “Over his career, he rose from superintendent to CEO of a prosperous road construction company while also devoting 15 years as a member of the Guntersville Board of Education. Reed’s broad experience and proven leadership make him very qualified to serve the people as Chairman of the Marshall County Commission.”“James Hutcheson filled this role starting in 2010 and I will work hard to continue his good works,” he said in a statement released by Ivey’s office. “I look forward to working for the people of Marshall County.” In 1978, Reed joined Whitaker Contracting Corp, Inc. as superintendent of Aggregate and Asphalt Construction. He was promoted to President of the company in 2000 and CEO in 2017. During his tenure, Whitaker Contracting, Corp, Inc. revenues grew to $139 million with 350 employees. His career is also marked by holding statewide positions of president of the Alabama Road Builders Association and twice President of the Alabama Asphalt Paving Association. He was also elected to the Road Builders Hall of Fame. Additionally, he served 15 years on the Guntersville Board of Education, including four years as chairman. A graduate of Albertville High School, Reed received his bachelor of science degree in Education from The University of Alabama in 1978.Please join me in keeping Chairman Reed’s loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
