亚拉巴马州：Helix Electric投资4530万美元在杰克逊县建先进制造园区，创造160个岗位
亚拉巴马州州长凯·艾维（Kay Ivey）10月27日宣布，总部位于加利福尼亚州的电气承包商 Helix Electric 已在亚拉巴马州杰克逊县好莱坞镇（Hollywood）动工建设一座投资4530万美元的新工厂，将创造160个就业岗位。
新园区名为「先进制造园区」（Advanced Fabrication Campus），主要生产预制电气组件和大型模块化电气总成，包括管线组、竖管、吊架、电气装置和模块化电气滑橇等产品，供大型建设项目直接安装使用。
公司表示，这座工厂将成为它在美国东海岸一侧的制造据点，与杰克逊县被州政府列为重点扶持的「目标县」（Target County）相契合。项目也符合亚拉巴马州商务部在十年经济战略「催化剂」（Catalyst）计划下对金属与先进材料产业的布局。
艾维表示，Helix Electric 的落户说明亚拉巴马州的营商环境和劳动力对先进制造企业有持续吸引力。
Helix Electric 首席执行官鲍里斯·谢赫特（Boris Shekhter）、州商务部长埃伦·麦克奈尔（Ellen McNair）、田纳西河谷管理局（TVA）副总裁海迪·史密斯（Heidi Smith）、州参议员史蒂夫·利文斯顿（Steve Livingston）和杰克逊县经济发展局的内森·李（Nathan Lee）对项目表示欢迎。
Alabama: Governor Ivey Announces Helix Electric to Build $45.3 Million Facility in Jackson County, Create 160 Jobs
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced on October 27 that Helix Electric, a California-based electrical contractor, has broken ground on a $45.3 million facility in Hollywood, Jackson County, Alabama, that will create 160 jobs.
The new Advanced Fabrication Campus will manufacture prefabricated electrical components and large modular electrical assemblies, including duct banks, risers, hangers, devices and modular electrical skids, for direct installation on major construction projects.
The company said the plant gives it a manufacturing presence on the East Coast side of the country. Jackson County is a state-designated Target County, and the project aligns with the Alabama Department of Commerce's metals and advanced materials strategy under the ten-year Catalyst plan.
Ivey said Helix Electric's decision shows Alabama's business climate and workforce continue to attract advanced manufacturers.
Helix Electric CEO Boris Shekhter, Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair, TVA Vice President Heidi Smith, State Senator Steve Livingston and Nathan Lee of the Jackson County Economic Development Authority welcomed the project.
