Huntsville reportedly beat out 24 other sites to land the plant.
Gotta give our folks props for this one. That's a pretty impressive number of contenders.

I live in central Alabama after a business move here in 1977. I miss South Louisiana but I like it here as well. Welcome and open arms to Remington. Will go back to buying their stuff....

It's outstanding news. All firearms manufacturers need to expand to pro-gun states.

Great news for our area! 
Guess I should get my resume up to date in case they have a few good paying engineer spots.

When the plant opens and job numbers in NY are decreased, I will once again purchase Remington products.

Reports of a Remington expansion to Alabama began making the rounds on Friday, and today Gov. Robert Bentley made the official announcement: Remington Outdoor Co., formerly Freedom Group, will expand to the old Chrysler building in Huntsville, Ala., and create more than 2,000 new jobs within the next 10 years.
Bentley joined Remington Chairman and CEO George Kollitides and other state and local leaders for the announcement.
“I am honored to welcome Remington to Alabama,” Bentley said. ”The Alabama workforce, our business climate and our quality of life continue to make Alabama extremely attractive to companies. Remington will soon experience the same type of success that other companies in Alabama have already experienced. Today’s announcement will create more than 2,000 jobs in Huntsville, and reflects a statewide capital investment of $110 million. Our relationship with Remington is just beginning, and I look forward to a continued partnership with the company.”
It didn’t take long for political operatives for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to begin political damage-control work
. The company currently employs 1,300 at its historic plant in Ilion, N.Y.
Said Kollitides, “This additional capacity is essential to fulfill demand and introduce new products. Having watched our company grow from 2,400 employees in 2008 to 4,200 employees by the end of 2013, a five-year, 75 percent increase, it is easy to see why we’re investing now.”

it is official when it is done.
When employee numbers in NY decrease I will be convinced they are downsizing in that state.

Great example of market reaction to restrictive government policy.

Hmmm...might be a good idea. Wonder if they can use any NASA types...I'm just a contractor anyways!

Or a Remington Falconer?
Exactly. I'll name my next hawk "Remmy" if that helps me get a job there.

I wonder what were some other locations in the running?
