URGING CONGRESS, PRESIDENT TRUMP, AND THE UNITED
STATES DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE TO GIVE CONSIDERATION TO THE BID
OF LEONARDO-DRS TO BUILD THE T-100 TRAINER IN TUSKEGEE,
ALABAMA.
WHEREAS, the Alabama State Leadership Conference of
Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., voted to support and urge the
federal government to choose Leonardo-DRS to build the T-100
aircraft, which Leonardo-DRS has committed to build in
Tuskegee, Alabama, at historic Moton Field, home of the
Tuskegee Airmen; and
WHEREAS, the building of the T-100 aircraft in
Tuskegee would also be a fitting tribute to the late Mr.
Harold D. Powell, a true champion of economic development for
Macon County and his beloved Town of Shorter, Alabama, where
he served as Town Clerk; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Powell served as the
Secretary-Treasurer of the Macon County Economic Development
Authority (MCEDA) and served in a committed capacity in
support of business and industry in Macon County; and
WHEREAS, we join with Zeta Phi Beta Sorority in
urging Congress, the President, and the Department of Defense
to give consideration to the bid of Leonardo-DRS to build the
T-100 trainer jet fighter, which will bring new wealth to the
City of Tuskegee, Macon County, the regional communities, and
the State of Alabama; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF
THE LEGISLATURE OF ALABAMA, That we request that our federal
government assures the utmost fairness to Leonardo-DRS's T-100
proposal and a heavy measure of consideration be given to the
highest number of new jobs created, highest community impact
and the value to the world-changing history and significance
of the Tuskegee Airmen and Moton Field during the process and
in memory of a true champion of economic development for his
beloved community, Mr. Harold Powell.
