By newsdesk - Posted on March 3rd, 2008
February 29, 2008 -- MONTGOMERY - Alabama Governor Bob Riley released the following statement on Friday:
“There are only two places in the world where large airplanes are built: Seattle, Washington and Toulouse, France. Now, there will be a third: Mobile, Alabama.
“To say this is a great day for Alabama is a monumental understatement. This will go down in history as one of our greatest days.
“This announcement is the fulfillment of a dream that began three years ago, and that dream was to bring high-paying aerospace jobs to Mobile. It was a dream to provide the men and women of our military with the best and most efficient aerial refueling tanker. Those dreams are being fulfilled and they will be made a reality in our state.
“The selection of Northrop Grumman-EADS is the result of extremely hard work by a unified team from the company, the state, the federal government and Mobile. I congratulate everyone involved and thank them for all they’ve done.”
