TRUSSVILLE — Jim Searcy, the executive director of the Economic Development Association of Alabama, spoke to the Trussville Area Chamber of Commerce last Thursday at the Trussville Civic Center.
Searcy spoke about the positive impact the automotive industry has had on the state of Alabama. Because of that positive impact, many other companies are moving or have moved their operations to Alabama. Airbus, for example, has invested $600 million in its new facility, which should be completed in 2015.
