With Alabama’s dedication to the aerospace and defense industry as well as research and development (R&D), a natural partnership exists between Auburn University, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the Army. For the FAA, the goal is to increase the reliability of 3-D printed metal aircraft parts to improve commercial air travel. On the defense side, the Army hopes to use the grant as a way to examine how to implement 3-D printing technology and ultimately improve Army operations.    We love doing business with local businesses! Thank you to Mr. McGriff and the team at McGriff Tire Pros, headquartered in Cullman, for providing a safe, reliable set of new tires for my son’s truck. #Our67 #ShopLocal     Rest in Peace to the late Madeline Albright, who served as the first woman Secretary of State in United States history.
