HUNTSVILLE RANKED #1 CITY IN 2009 BY KIPLINGER’S
At a time when the Huntsville/Madison County community has received nearly unprecedented rankings and recognition for its job growth, technology creation, and quality of life, along comes its most lofty ranking yet - Kiplinger’s Personal Finance #1 city in the U.S. in 2009.
Chamber of Commerce of Huntsville/Madison County Board Chair Irma Tuder said the ranking is more good news in the community’s on-going workforce recruitment and targeted industry recruitment efforts.
“This ranking illustrates what we have been saying about our community for a long time, that Huntsville is truly a smart place to live, work and play,” Tuder said. “This is a tremendous honor for everyone here - and Kiplinger’s reporter Jane Clark indicated that she not only found Huntsville to be an excellent place for high-tech job growth, but also for its intellectual and entrepreneurial energy.”
The reporter visited Huntsville for several days in April and met with a number of local officials, including Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, and visited several attractions and businesses, including the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology, Huntsville Botanical Garden as well as taking tours of Cummings Research Park, Redstone Arsenal and the historic Twickenham district in Huntsville.
“In just a few days, the reporter was able to quickly see and feel what makes our community so unique,” said Tuder. “As we recruit people to our community to fill our many high-tech jobs, a ranking like this is a wonderful image enhancement tool for us. We will use this information in all of our recruiting efforts and we hope and believe it will be a catalyst for people to take a more in-depth look at our community as a possible place to start or advance their careers.”
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle praised the magazine as well.
“I’d like to thank Kiplinger’s Personal Finance for recognizing Huntsville’s diverse work force and dynamic economy in this year’s rankings. This number one ranking highlights the strength of our entire community and gives another example of why Huntsville remains the bright and shining star of Alabama. We’re very proud of our community and thankful to Kiplinger’s for highlighting our story.”
According to a release issued by the magazine Tuesday, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named its “10 Best Cities of 2009″ by selecting locales offering solid employment opportunities and the talent to create new, well-paying positions. A healthy job market means these cities will suffer less during the recession and will have a head start toward growth when the recovery takes off. This year’s favorites are profiled in the July issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance, on newsstands June 9, and online at www.kiplinger.com/money/bestcities, with additional interactive features.
The release also stated that when identifying the Best Cities of 2009, Kiplinger’s teamed with Kevin Stolarick, research director at the Martin Prosperity Institute, a think tank that studies economic prosperity. Stolarick evaluated U.S. cities for their growth potential, looking not just at the overall number of jobs but also at the quality of those positions and the ability of cities to hold on to them when the economy softens.
“Although downturns are felt by everyone, our research has shown that the impact is less severe for those in the creative class-people who are paid to think,” says Stolarick. “People in fields such as science, engineering, architecture, and education are catalysts of vitality and livability in a city,” the release stated.
“We know that most of our readers work in such professions,” said Kiplinger’s senior editor Robert Frick. “Our list is tailor-made to be of interest to our readers.”
Kiplinger’s Best Cities of 2009:

www.builtbybryan.com
Getting Started!
At Jimmy Bryan Construction our process of custom home building consists of several different phases to assure you that you get the best product fit to your tastes and needs. Our process of choosing the Lot and location, size and type of architecture, amenities, design or plan selection, and most importantly budget and financing. We walk you through the whole step of the way using our 20yrs of experience in the custom home business to help guide you.
1. Lot selection:
To begin the process of building your new custom home with us you must first select your lot and location. We have lots available in multiple premier developments throughout the Athens area. We will also build on your lot if you already have one.
2. Deisign and Plan Selection:
We look at plans that best fit your needs. You may already have something in mind, or have a plan that needs minor changes. We have some plans available but they are limited because most of the houses that we build are custom and the plans do not belong to us. If you want to design something from scratch, we have good working relationships with several architects and home designers in the area and can assist with this process.
3. Finish selections and pricing:
Once a plan is selected we will go over it with you and get your selections from the ground up. This selection list is necessary in order to give you a good accurate estimate. We use a true cost estimating process that will give you a break down of expenses throughout 14 divisions.
4. Financing:
Once we have agreed on a price you will need to obtain the appropriate financing. We have great working relationships with several local banks and can assist you in finding the best deal with the best service.
5. Construction: An average project for Jimmy Bryan Construction takes from 4-10 months depending on the size and scope of details.
North Alabama Attractions-Mountains Region Alabama’s Mountains Region Click here to see a map of the Mountains Region Archaeologists say it was the hunt for a food source–abundant wildlife–that brought humans to Alabama 12,000 years ago. Whatever the reason they came, the people who lived here have achieved greatness and left an indelible mark on the landscape and the history. Among the many reasons to visit North Alabama this year is the 75th anniversary of the Ave Maria Grotto. Located in Cullman on the grounds of Alabama’s first and only Benedictine Abbey, the Grotto consists of more than 125 miniature reproductions of famous churches, shrines and buildings. A visit to Russell Cave National Monument in Bridgeport and the Indian Mound and Museum in Florence reveals prehistoric lifestyles of Native Americans, while Lawrence County’s Oakville Indian Mounds Education Center provides a more recent glimpse into their culture. Nearby is Jesse Owens Museum Park in Moulton, which pays homage to one of the greatest athletes of the 20th century. Huntsville has several museums that interpret different time periods, from the early 1800s when Alabama became a state to the age of American space exploration in the mid-20th century. The newest addition to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center is the Saturn V Center housing the rocket that took man to the moon. Alabama Constitution Village, Earlyworks and Burritt on the Mountain teach various Alabama history lessons. The State Black Archives Research Center and Museum is a repository of African-American history. Follow the Civil War Walking Trail to Decatur where the Blue & Gray Museum offers a glimpse into early military life. A must-visit in nearby Hillsboro is Pond Spring, home of General Joe Wheeler, and historic Belle Mont Mansion in Florence. Northwest Alabama has given birth to several remarkable figures in American history. Visit Helen Keller’s Birthplace in Tuscumbia and hear the triumphant story of how Keller overcame deafness and blindness to become an inspiration to the world. Follow the Alabama Music Trail to the little log cabin in Florence which is the birthplace of the “Father of the Blues,” W.C. Handy, and see some of the many artists who have contributed to the world of music at the Alabama Music Hall of Fame in Tuscumbia. At the very edge of the region, heading southward toward Gadsden, is the Hardin Center for Cultural Arts, Imagination Place Children’s Museum and beautiful Nocallula Falls Park.
