HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- The Huntsville City Council will vote on a plan to give Redstone Arsenal more than a million
dollars Thursday night.

City leaders said the money
is expected to go toward building two homes for the Arsenal's top brass.

It's all a part of an
agreement forged between the Arsenal and the City of Huntsville back in 2010, and
has to do with making Huntsville more attractive for future military
relocations to the Rocket City.

According to the officials, Huntsville is giving the Arsenal $2.5 million to upgrade infrastructure.

A city
spokesperson said $1.2 million is going towards two new homes for top leaders. Those homes will be
something similar to what you see at Hampton Cove. The city said the rest of
the money will go towards other projects including improving roads.

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF)- Huntsville Police have a new "BAT" –mobile, which is equipped to help crack down on drunk drivers.

"BAT" stands for Breath Analysis Testing. HEMSI donated an old ambulance to Huntsville Police, who turned it into something the DUI task force can use.

You will see it parked at checkpoints in the future. While it will quickly test drivers for blood-alcohol levels, officers also hope just the sight of it will cut down on drunk driving.

"You've seen the lights on the outside. That gets into the public mindset. It gives us a visual aspect to watch drinking and driving," said Officer Mitch Chappell.

Officers said the BAT van's main purpose is to save lives. They plan to have it in service by July.
