It was a big fuss apparently.

It was a big fuss apparently. $70mil and 300 jobs, I believe is the estimate. I think they're going to be making the Standard Missile 3 there, which is shot off ships for air/missile defense (Aegis system). Very similar to PATRIOT but ship-based. Title: Re: Fmr Gov.

Instead, we get retail and restaurants, keeps the pay scale down.

Instead, we get retail and restaurants, keeps the pay scale down. That typically describes the economy in the Shoals as well (where I grew up). I think the blame lies largely with lack of convenient transportation (airport and interstate). An interstate connecting Memphis and Atlanta that runs through the Shoals has been in discussion forever, but looks less likely with the redoing of US78 as I-22 between Birmingham and Memphis. |
