CONGRESSMAN ADERHOLT STATEMENT ON BOEING’S DECISION TO MOVE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEMS DIVISION TO HUNTSVILLE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) today issued the following statement on Boeing’s decision to relocate their headquarters for its Missile Defense Systems (MDS) division to the company’s facilities in Huntsville from Arlington, Va.

“As one of the largest aerospace companies in Alabama and one of the state’s largest employers, I am thrilled that Boeing has decided to move their Missile Defense System division to Huntsville. This move only confirms what the nation’s defense community has said for years -- that Huntsville is the center of the world’s cutting edge defense technology. North Alabama also has the reputation as an ideal location to grow business, both small and large, and I challenge technology companies to follow in Boeing’s footsteps by moving their operations to our region.”
