Congressman Robert Aderholt Announces Major Investment in America’s Defense Industrial Base with Shoals Project

MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala - "Congressman Robert Aderholt announced today that the U.S. Navy will hold a landmark ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new defense industrial facility in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, currently scheduled for March 20."

"This 2.2 million square foot facility will now be a symbol of U.S. defense, anchoring shipbuilding and maritime production in Northwest Alabama. This major investment will be truly transformative for the Shoals area," said Congressman Aderholt.

"I worked for nearly six years to bring industry to an unused facility in the Shoals, and that effort came to fruition through the One Big Beautiful Bill. I'm proud to have secured funding to bring shipbuilding capacity to Alabama's Fourth Congressional District, proving that maritime dominance is not just a coastal priority."

"This is just the beginning. As current events show, America needs sea power more than ever - Alabama is up to the challenge and we will build a 21st century collaborative campus here that no conventional shipyard or industrial park can rival."

This facility will bring in thousands of manufacturing jobs and opportunities to Northwest Alabama. More details on the event and the production that will take place here will be released soon.
