Written by Darlene Hammond, Real Estate Advisor

Exciting news has been announced. Mobile has landed a major contract to build 179 refueling tankers for the Air Force. This 40 billion dollar contract will have a major positive effect on Baldwin/Mobile county as well as other surrounding areas. Escambia and Santa Rosa counties will surely benefit as well. The increase and growth of over 2,000 jobs will bring revenues into our area. Nearby Pensacola Beach and Downtown Pensacola will have a spill over of vacationers and visitors coming in from these new endeavors. Last May, Mobile also landed another major company. ThyssenKrup steel plant came in with over 2,700 good paying jobs. This has positioned Mobile/Baldwin County and their city to the entire United States Aerospace industry as an up and coming leader and productive growing city. All of Northwest Florida will reap major benefits from these new contracts and growth.
