Huntsville No. 2 in smarts

Tuesday, April 11, 2006

Huntsville may not be a huge city, but, according to this month's Expansion Management magazine, it is smart.

The magazine, which helps companies decide where to locate and expand their business, named Huntsville No. 2 on its annual list of top 10 cities for scientists and engineers. The Kennewick-Richland-Pasco, Wash., metro area was at the top of that list.

The designation is part of Expansion Management annual Knowledge Quotient ranking of 362 metro areas.

The survey also ranked the top knowledge worker metros, top metros for university research and development spending and the top metros for college educated workers.

Last year, the magazine named Huntsville one of the leading knowledge worker metros and one of America's super cities of the future.
