Congressman Mike Rogers made the following remarks today after the completion of the chemical weapon incineration.

“After almost a decade of destroying the chemical weapons stockpile in my hometown of Anniston, I am pleased to see the project completed. I applaud the employees of the Anniston Chemical Agent Disposal Facility for their hard work in eliminating these hazardous materials while keeping the residents of the Anniston area safe.

“I am optimistic the end of this chapter in our history will help bring new opportunities for the area, which like so many areas across East Alabama is situated perfectly for economic growth and the attraction of new employers.”
