Once again Huntsville Captures top honors for Engineering - Feb 2015

While the city Huntsville was locked into a snow and ice cycle in February and March, organizations have bestowed titles of top engineering city on Huntsville.

Forbes and NerdWallet have announced that Huntsville is the best place for engineers. By far away and an easy pick among the organizations Huntsville stood out the most. Not only that but reading further into the article Decatur, AL also made the list, making the metro area very strong indeed in terms of an engineering powerhouse. The hidden gem of the Huntsville area is once again proudly recognized.

Also sneaking in on another list. Huntsville managed to get into the top 15 of top cities for pay in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Math) jobs. With the above awards of engineering, these two can easily seen being hand in hand which looks back at another list by Wallethub showing Huntsville on the list for most educated cities.

A Short Post with Spring Around the Corner

With Spring just around the corner and the ice finally having melted after a few days of hanging on, the warmer temperatures have finally pushed through into the Huntsville Metro Area. The past few days we have been seeing a constant flow of sixty plus degree temperatures. It would feel fantastic if it wasn't for the off and on rain that has been hovering in the skies for the past few days. But we will push past it and once again reach the wonderful weather of sunny skies, warm temperatures and be dry. We just have to repeat to ourselves that Spring will be arriving shortly.

2015 Brings New Business and Construction

2015 has already opened with a bang, literally and figuratively speaking.  The biggest surprise of the new year is the opening of the new manufacturing plant, Polaris. 

The corner of Bob Wallace and Memorial Parkway has had slow construction going for a while. But now the scope of what is going in there can finally be seen as the outlines of the new Regions Bank and Whole Foods can be seen. The shopping complex is rising rather quickly so if you are in the area take a look.

Along University Drive/72 West, there has been recent construction as well. Capital Park Apartments expansion permits for a Fitness Center, Car Wash, and Clubhouse and construction of Hiley Audi dealership moving further Westward from its current position near Hiley Volkswagen dealership.

We will keep you updated on anything else we hear.
