Here are the top stories today in Huntsville:

1. The Huntsville International Airport will be receiving a $10 million grant. The money is part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law from President Biden and will be used for upgrades and expansions. (WAFF)
2. Student teams from Grissom High and Hampton Cove Middle Schools (both HCS schools) brought home awards at the Technology Student Association National Conference. Both teams qualified at state earlier in the year and this was their first time to be able to attend nationals. Hampton Cove brought home first in Medical Technology and second in Forensic Science at the national competition. (Huntsville City Schools)
3. The South Huntsville location of ChuckWagon BBQ is closed. Their last day at that location was July 2, but the Madison location will remain open. The closure is due to rising costs, lowered traffic, and few solid staff members. (AL.com)
4. WellStone, a nonprofit mental health center, will host a job fair at their main office in Huntsville. The fair will be July 22 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. (WHNT)
5. Land Trust has made improvements to several trails in the area to help the flow of horseback riders, bikers, and hikers. They’ve also added several spots for bikers to work on various skills. Make sure you look at the changes before you hit the trails! (WHNT)

Are you a Huntsville resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
