At InnerSpace Brewing in Huntsville, Ala., local brewery owner Stewart Money reflects on the anxieties felt by government workers and contractors regarding potential cuts to the federal workforce under President Trump. Despite concerns, many in the aerospace sector show cautious optimism, believing that defense investments may encourage continued growth. The Rocket City, home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, showcases both tension and hope as employees grapple with job security while also noting increased activity at the Redstone Arsenal military base. Expert opinions confirm that economic downturn in the region seems unlikely, as defense budgets are predicted to remain stable.
"...it’s almost like launching a rocket that’s not proven. You don’t know what’s going to happen, but something is going to happen."
"The defense budget is probably not going to shrink, so overall, I don’t think we’re going to see a true economic downturn any time soon in Huntsville."
