Bonjour! Mayor, Council Members Busy in France

Jun 20th, 2007

Mobile Mayor Sam Jones, City Council Members Clinton Johnson, Fred Richardson, Connie Hudson and William Carroll are in France for the world famous Paris Air Show. The event is a chance for Mobile’s delegation to further establish our city as a key player in international aerospace industry. The relationship between Mobile and EADS started at the air show a few years ago. Northrop-Grumman, along with EADS is bidding to bring thousands of jobs if it wins a tanker contract with the United States Air Force.

“Mobile’s place in the global market is expanding each time we make an appearance here,” says Mayor Jones. “We have a strong team of delegates here representing Mobile, Alabama, and the entire United States.”

The KC-30, the airplane that would be built here in Mobile, is a big hit at the air show.
