1,032 new positions over the next four years' — confirmed by Made in Alabama (state commerce newsroom), BIC Magazine, Alabama News Center, Trade and Industry Development, and The Business View (fetched), all citing the same $288 million/1,032-job figures for the July 9, 2024 groundbreaking. A single outlier (mynbc15.com local TV) headline says 'promises 1,100 jobs' without a matching capex figure and is treated as an imprecise rounding by that outlet rather than a genuine second figure.
