The Opelika City Council approved a $79 million manufacturing project by Faith Technologies, projected to create 200 full-time jobs. The facility, located at the former Joann Fabrics Distribution Center, will focus on electrical assemblies for infrastructure projects.

City officials confirmed the site is not a data center, addressing resident concerns. Hiring is expected to start later this year with an average salary of $65,000, supported by job-performance incentives and tuition reimbursement for training.
