In November 2008, several factors led Forbes to choose Huntsville/Madison County as the number one area to weather the economic downturn. Employment, cost of living, property taxes, and average income were all factored into the choice. Madison County enjoys major employers in the aerospace, biotech, and medical industries, in addition to being the home of Redstone Arsenal and NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. Base Realignment and Closure is bringing several thousand new high-end government jobs to the area, and the new NASA ARES-1 project is a boon to Boeing’s substantial operations in the area.
