The City of Mobile and its chamber are worried that Pensacola might lure away one its largest employers, according to the Mobile Register. The Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce CEO/President told the paper that a Pensacola delegation has been trying to recruit ST Aerospace Mobile and its more than 1,000 employees.

ST Aerospace Mobile President Joseph Ng did not immediately return calls requesting comment. A Pensacola city spokesman, declined to comment, according to the paper.
