Some of the up and coming projects in Mobile

In continuation of the posts about the special offer for Mobile and my motivation behind the offer, I’ve more to say about Mobile.

There is a significant potential for commerce in Mobile. Any local company would be wise to try and quickly grow there business here and I believe that many international companies should do the same.

Why Mobile? Why now? If you read the papers or watch the news, you’ve heard about all of the big new things that are going on in Mobile and the Gulf Coast:

•       EADS is evaluating a facility in Mobile for the KC-30 (Even though this project hasn’t happened yet, I’m still optimistic.)

•       ThyssenKrupp is building a facility in N. Mobile County ($3.7 billion, 3,700-workers)

•       Hard Rock (and other casinos) is open (or re-opening) in Biloxi

•       Nascar’s Dale Earnhardt is helping design a motorspeedway ($624 million )

•       Expansion at Austel at the Port of Mobile ($7 million expansion)

•       Berg Spiral Pipe Corporation is coming to Mobile ( $75 million  in capital investment)

•       The RSA Tower in Downtown Mobile ($132 million investment)

The list above has mostly Mobile openings, but a longer list can be created for the entire Gulf Coast. These companies are major news stories that I’m sure you are aware of.

The real opportunity for local business is related to a series of events that occur after these companies have made their announcements. That’s when the real money will start pouring into the city.
