They just announced that one of our oldest pipe plants is closing. I would say that we are effected but not like most of the country. Our city's (Birmingham) budget is in shambles but our state is heathy with announcements of new job being created because of expanded plant capacity or new plants coming in. Birmingham's, and the State for that matter, largest employer is UAB Medical Center/School with over 50,000 direct employee and all of the industries that support a major medical complex. The medical and automoble industry in the state is strong. Most of the new expansions or additions are in the automobile, aviation or medical fields. Trinity Medical is busy finishing the Digital Hospital that Health South started a few years ago. Trinity is now using the old Montclair Baptist Hospital location.
