HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - A project development agreement between the City of Huntsville and Aerojet Rocketdyne will translate to more than 700 new jobs.
The rocket and missile propulsion manufacturer plans to expand operations in the rocket city with a defense business headquarters and rocket shop business at Cummins Research Park. An engine assembly and advanced manufacturing will be built at the North Huntsville Industrial Park along Pulaski Pike.
The jobs will offer minimum salaries close to $80,000, with average wages sitting at $38.25/hr.
The manufacturing plant is expected to build propulsion engines for the SLS deep space rocket. The project timelines have dates set for December 2017 & January 2018.
The project comes with incentives to attract up to 1,200 employees with possible future expansion.
Aerojet Rocketdyne has current operations in Cummings Research Park as well as Florida, Arkansas, Virginia, Washington, New Mexico, Utah, Tennessee, and New Jersey.
Aerojet Rocketdyne currently manufacturers rocket engines for both private and government use.
Right around the corner from me. Time to pull out the “For Sale” sign again.
Huntsville, Al. Is located in far northern eastern Al. Nice country-side.
Not too far away from Little River Canyon and Lake Weiss. Lots of beautiful scenery.
(Dip shit)Patty Murray says that Alabamians weren't smart enough to built the Air Force refueling tanker.
How can they possibly do this?
Alabamians have been building aerospace and naval items for many years.
I understand that there's a sizeable German community there....the descendents of the German rocket scientists who developed the V2 rocket in Germany and later the Saturn-5 moon rockets here.
Patty Murray is a moron. Check out Alabama’s contribution to the WWII effort at Brookley AFB.

I grew up around the Mobile area. Working at the AF base in those days was a good job. Brookley's main runway is long enough that it is/was a space shuttle emergency landing site.
Airbus is building jet liners there now.
