The city of Mobile and the other communities within the Mobile Bay Metro Area (Baldwin County, Mobile County, Alabama) have the opportunity to capture many more economic projects if, as area businesses and residents, we continue to stand together "as one!"
We must all participate in the promotion of our area, whether it's in a small way or a big way. You can contribute with only a smile to a weary traveler visiting our area (they might be moving here or relocating their business) or keeping the trash picked up around your home. Landscaping, mowing the lawn, or volunteering to assist with your educational talents are certainly other ways to place your positive mark upon our metropolitan bay area.
Also, even more small and large businesses should consider banding together, promoting our area through worthwhile local civic, economic and marketing projects. It is through these ongoing positive efforts and promotional projects which will continue to keep us progressive, in contention for even more economic opportunities and, certainly, noticed by outsiders looking in. These outsiders just might want to jump right in with us, so they can also experience the economic flurry of opportunities. Our local assets and opportunities to compete surround each of us every day. So open your eyes widely, see the possibilities and potential, and the next time you look into a mirror, realize that you are looking at one of our greatest assets!
It could be raining economic projects' money in the Mobile Bay Metro Area, so here are some recent newsworthy articles (links below) for your reading. Let these articles stoke your embers of creativity and professionalism, and turn them into your flames of positive ideas and possibilities!
Please send me your comments, opinions and suggestions.

Company Announces Plan For Baldwin (Mobile) Car Plant Bringing 6,000 Jobs
Friday, September 25, 2009
By GEORGE R. ALTMAN
MONTGOMERY - Hybrid Kinetic Motors plans a $1.5 billion car plant,employing nearly 6,000 workers, in Baldwin County within three to five years, company and state officials said Thursday.
But state leaders said much work needs to be done - particularly fundraising by HK Motors - before the hybrid car plant can be built, and it is far from certain that the project will be completed.
"We're waiting now to make sure that we have all the pieces in place, so we can move forward on something that could be a really incredible venture," Gov. Bob Riley said during a ceremony in the State Capitol Building.
Riley said he thought the plans would be realized, but added, "There are no guarantees in life."
State officials said they would not negotiate incentives until HK Motors raised more money and gave adequate assurances that taxpayer dollars would not be lost if the program fails.
The Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance has options on 3,000 acres north of Bay Minette and just south of Interstate 65.
