2025 Redstone Update

Redstone Arsenal (RSA) is the economic engine powering roughly half of the Huntsville metro economy. Over 44,000 people work on its 38,000 acres. Redstone’s impact extends to virtually every sector of our economy. The Redstone Update provides many of the commands and agencies on RSA with an opportunity to update the community on changes to their roles, missions, footprint and employment projections, as well as any other items they consider to be important.
