Ahem. Perhaps you missed the "Huntsville" part.
Huntsville has the highest number of PhD's per acre in the US.
Marshall Space Flight Center
Redstone Arsenal
About 50 very advanced military contractors. (combat lasers, image recognition anti-sniper systems etc)
NASA's supposedly shut down exotic propulsion systems division
The guys that designed sneaky wave, Visibuilding and the non-observable fighter radar that's only at Kirtland and other places similar.
The only lab that I'd buy may have actually created an anti-gravity system
Space and Missile Defense Command's backup command site.
A lot of DIA offices - it's military spook city.
And that's just the stuff that instantly comes to mind.
It's a happening place if you're a military contractor geek. I worked there for many a year, and it was never boring.
