Earlier in the day, the city learned that Boeing had captured a coveted $35 million U.S. Department of Defense contract. European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. had won the contract in 2008 and announced plans to build a $600 million aircraft assembly plant in Mobile, but the decision was overturned after Boeing protested.
