Huntsville The Town That Knew Its Future
Huntsville Alabama emerges as a space age hub after German missile scientists led by Wernher von Braun arrive in 1949. The city grows from 16 000 to nearly 100 000, builds a 7 million civic center, 6 000 homes, and becomes a center for NASA related space boosters and industry. Mayor Searcy notes 70 percent of residents are from outside Alabama and civic involvement rises amid rapid growth.
