That is just a few minutes off the water, it is no different than the panhandle. I agree with Bob. Industry can stand up to hurricanes the same as Alabama and Tennesee have tornadoes. We have paper mills, chemical plants and power plants that survive hurricanes as do we all. It would be more than worth while to chase new industry for this area. Tourisum only serves a few people in this area and they have all the money. I agree with Bob. Bay Minette is rumored to get one of the auto manufacturing plants.

I know I wouldn't even consider Florida for that reason.

We have ignored the things that create jobs for the general population of the state. Our leaders have listened to special interest groups and have chosen to make Florida the tourism capital of the eastern states. That's fine but when tourism falls on its face,we are hung out to dry. We do not want any type of manufacturing that bothers with the lifestyle we have. Consequently Alabama,Georgia,Mississippi and Tennessee have made concerted efforts to secure auto manufacturing plants while Florida sits idly by and lets all go over it's head. Start with the governors office and go down to the local city governments and you will have everyone under the umbrella that is responsible for this facade. As all have probably learned by now,beachfront property is not where it is and never will be. Our political leaders are much to blame for this situation.
