Huntsville ranked 7th among the top 15 regions in the latest Site Selection magazine survey of site selection consultants. Huntsville is one of the smallest cities on the list, but is still recognized as an attractive location to locate a new business or expand an existing business. The survey queried the site selection consultants on their pick for the top metro areas for investment. The top 10 cities on the list were:
1. Dallas, TX
2. Atlanta, GA
3. Charlotte, NC
4. Houston, TX
5. Indianapolis, IN
6. St. Louis, MO
7. Huntsville, AL

In addition, Alabama was ranked 10 in the top 10 states with best business climates as ranked by Site Selection magazine. While Alabama was bested by other southern state like North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana, landing in the top 10 is still a prized location. Alabama ranks especially well in the aerospace, automotive, wood products and green energy industries.
As an entrepreneur and one who works with and watches the entrepreneurial community, these rankings confirm the positive environment that residents of Huntsville recognize as business as usual in Alabama and especially in Huntsville.
