Alabama: 'State of the Year' for Economic Progress
Alabama is 'State of the Year' again, "getting the ring for the fifth time in six years," according to Southern Business & Development magazine's 2008 State Summary.
Governor Bob Riley visited expanding
businesses in the aviation, life sciences and automotive fields in
three cities on Wednesday to announce Alabama has been named "State of
the Year" by a trade magazine for its economic development performance
in 2007.
This is the fifth time in
the last six years Alabama has been ranked the South's top economic
development state by Southern Business and Development magazine.
"Once
again, Alabama leads the South in economic development and the South
leads the nation," said Governor Riley. "Our ranking as number one is a
monumental accomplishment. It's recognition that Alabama is the place
where there are more jobs, more prosperity and more opportunity."
The
magazine, which covers economic development activity in 17 states, uses
a point system based on announcements of 200 jobs or more and/or
capital investments of $30 million or more to rank the states.
Alabama has been named "State of the Year" for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and now 2007.
Last
year, Alabama saw 473 new and expanding industry announcements. Those
projects resulted in more than 24,000 announced new jobs.
To
celebrate the news, Governor Riley and Alabama Development Office
Director Neal Wade visited three companies that announced expansions
and new jobs last year: Westwind Technologies in Huntsville, Brookwood
Pharmaceuticals in Birmingham and Hyundai outside Montgomery. ...
