Mobile, AL – Mobile is one of four cities being considered for a large aircraft facility. The European Aerospace Defense and Space Company would use it to manufacture large military transport planes. The operation would eventually employ more than one-thousand workers. E-A-D-S is based in France and says it will make its final decision in a few weeks. The company also is considering sites in South Carolina, Mississippi and Florida. The president of the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce says city, county and state officials are working hard to bring the plant to Mobile.
