MORGAN COUNTY, Ala. – ULA, Dynetics, and Wolverine Tube are all planning to invest at least $139 million combined in Morgan County, which would create 265 new jobs.
The companies presented their proposed investment plans to the Decatur Industrial Development Board on Wednesday, where they received approval for tax abatement to support the plans.
Wolverine Tube outlined their plans to build and operate a $16 million dollar aluminum manufacturing facility starting this month. The plant is projected to create 250 jobs within three years.
United Launch Alliance’s proposed project requires capital investments for new tech and infrastructure for the new Vulcan thrust production. ULA will be investing $115 million dollars, and securing the employment of 620 people.
Dynetics plans to construct the second building of an aerospace structures complex next to ULA to the tune of $7.4 million, and add 15 new jobs in one year.....

Boom. North Alabama is “where it’s at”.
Yep, and HSV has the traffic to prove it. I do not know where all these people are coming from. When we moved here in 1966, HSV had a population of about 75,000 people. Now, the metro has 500,000. I was coming home today and a fire truck was going the same way I was. I slowed down to let people in the next lane get in my lane. Drivers just kept going like they could not even hear the truck. Disappointed me.
Mainly the Space/Defense industry. And, because H’ville grew so fast during the Space Age/ Cold War....the road planners made HUGE mistakes.
They sure did. I have been here since 1966. The work that is being done on the Parkway should have been done 30 years ago. I do think good work was done on I565 but there should have been many more lanes. It is like being on a speedway. Soon HSV, Decatur, and Athens will be one big metro area. I love living here though.
