HUNTSVILLE: The FBI on Thursday announced a major expansion at Redstone Arsenal as it plans to bring hundreds of jobs to the Army base in Huntsville.
The agency, which already has a significant presence at Redstone, is relocating 1,350 employees from locations in and near Washington, according to Robert Hamilton, senior executive, FBI Redstone Arsenal.
Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle told AL.com on Thursday that the new jobs are part of an anticipated FBI expansion on the arsenal that will ultimately reach between 4,000 and 5,000 jobs.
“The FBI is extremely excited to announce today that we are moving forward with our first large-scale operations support building,” Hamilton said during a presentation to business and community leaders at the annual Redstone Update. “We expect that to be ready for occupancy in early 2021. This will move approximately 1,350 personnel and contractors from the national capital region.
