Mobile Matters Podcast
Hosted by Mobile Chamber President and CEO Bradley Byrne, the Mobile Matters Podcast is diving deeper into important topics that make a significant impact on Mobile’s thriving business community.
In this special episode, Mobile Chamber President & CEO Bradley Byrne sits down with Mayor Sandy Stimpson to look back on 12 years of leadership in the Port City from stabilizing city finances and raising first-responder pay to record growth in aviation, shipbuilding and logistics. We cover Airbus’ rapid expansion, Austal’s shift to steel and submarine components, the Port of Mobile’s 50-ft channel, new Amtrak service, the downtown airport move and a 61% drop in Part I violent crime. Mobile Matters is powered by the Mobile Chamber.
