This week, Huntsville hosts @SpaceMissileDef. SMD brings together professionals from around the world. The speakers, programs, & conversations are invaluable. The event’s annual return to the Rocket City attests to our prominent place in the global defense & aerospace industries.

Happy Father’s Day to my son Drew. He’s a great to Dad to George and Benjamin while juggling all the good work he does in our community. To all the fathers out there: thank you for raising the next generation of thinkers, leaders, and doers of Huntsville.

On this Memorial Day, we remember those who gave their all. Their courageous sacrifice echoes through the generations. Today and every day, may their memory inspire us to build a future worthy of their legacy.

Thank you to the utility workers, first responders, & city crews that have cared for our neighborhoods after Wednesday’s storms. As the work continues, please be patient & take time to express your gratitude to these tireless public servants.

Great news for public transit in Huntsville - we have been awarded an $850,000 grant to bolster our transportation planning efforts. This funding will pave the way for smarter, more sustainable mobility solutions, making our city even more connected. huntsvilleal.gov/city-of-huntsv…

Jerry Hayes has been with us through disaster & triumph, delivering the news with professionalism & panache. Today he retires after 45 years on @whnt. It was a joy to recognize this outstanding Huntsvillian. I’m proud to say that today will forever be Jerry Hayes Day in our city.

Mayor @TommyBattle & I had a great day watching @aamuwbb @AAMUBball get wins over Alabama State! Great atmosphere on the Hill #SportsHsv

The Tennessee Valley is AL’s fastest growing area with 50K new jobs and families moving in daily, but ALDOT won’t approve needed construction so it can fund roads where there is less traffic, fewer jobs, and little growth. ALDOT needs to come to its senses and change priorities.

Impressed with our community’s forward thinking about AI and its applications. Thank you, @RocketCenterUSA, for hosting these important discussions.

Arts, culture, & hospitality do so much to enhance our quality of life in Huntsville. From recognizing accomplished hospitality professionals to distributing $300,000 in grants to 22 local arts nonprofits, events this week put a spotlight on what a vibrant place we call home.

Huntsville has another year of opportunity ahead. I sat down with Ken at FOX54 and shared my 2024 outlook. Completing the new city hall is just one of the many things I’m eagerly anticipating and working toward. Happy New Year! rocketcitynow.com/article/news/l…

We were all extra merry today as we cut the ribbon on South Huntsville’s newest space for families, the playground at the Sandra Moon Community Complex. Thank you to our special guests from the North Pole for joining in on the fun.

We’re excited to welcome @CountryMusic Award winners @hardymusic & @laineywilson to the Rocket City for a sold-out show in @VonBraunCenter Propst Arena tonight!

We’ve broken ground on @HSVk12’s career tech facility and central office. The 81k sq ft of classroom space will train students in fields like welding, culinary arts, construction, and health sciences. We’re proud to partner with our school board on this momentous project.

Huntsville Transit will honor the legacy of a civil rights icon with free rides on Rosa Parks Day, observed in Alabama on Friday, Dec. 1. 🚎 A seat at the front of each fixed-bus route will bear a black cover & pink sash bearing Parks' name. Learn more 👉 tinyurl.com/5n77s3tu

This Thanksgiving, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each of you for your support as we shape the future of Huntsville. Let us share in our gratitude for our blessings as a city filled with opportunity and promise.

“We’re very excited about being in New York City to represent AAMU, Huntsville and the state of Alabama. It’s a huge honor to not only march in the parade, but to also lead off the parade!” - Band Director Carlton Wright 256today.com/alabama-am-mar…
