As noted in the Mobile thread, it's looking good for Baldwin to rejoin Mobile's MSA. Also, Huntsville looks like it might gain Morgan county in its MSA if the census goes the right direction (20.6% commuted into Madison as of 2008) and Limestone is still holding strong at 35.5%
What I'm wondering is what will happen to Lawrence County. If/when the Decatur MSA is dissolved because Morgan joined to created the Huntsville-Decatur MSA, would Lawrence just sit there and not join either? Or would the commuting numbers to Morgan County allow it to also join the Huntsville-Decatur MSA?
