Wrong. HUNTSVILLE AL is far different from rural Alabama. You should do some research on the city before you denigrate the citizens and workforce here.

Its not just a rural problem, the drug problem is nation wide including Huntsville.

Biggest problem in the nation is that employers cannot find employees to pass their back ground and drug tests.

It's a joke watching a Trump fan try to claim that a SOLAR panel plant is the result of Trump policies.

The president's attack on solar cost a whole heck of a lot more. Jobs that were created by AMERICAN companies, at that.

Isn't it ironic?

The folks who routinely harp on how inefficient solar is and blah, blah, blah now embrace it because they think it will make Trump look good?

And do so embracing a foreign enterprise that will no doubt undercut American companies and cost even more American jobs.

MAGA indeed.

While it is a good news, $28M is just peanuts. And it is nothing new since LG has been there for long time.

If you really care for the foreign investment and new jobs created, you should mention new Toyota/Mazda plant which is also in that area and it is $1.6 billion and will create 4,000 jobs.

Sure beats flipping burgers or cleaning toilets for minimum wage during Barry's joke of a recovery.

I regret to inform you that there were plenty of well-paying jobs created under Obama, and there have been plenty of poor-paying jobs created under Trump.

Also, $21MM just for site prep for that project. Here is a post from a knowledgeable poster on the Huntsville/Madison County forum here at CD.

Do they consistently drug test employees in Alabama?
