Alliant Techsystems will be moving to Eden Prairie by late April of 2008. The company, a military contractor, has had its headquarters in Edina for the past few years. Those headquarters have been the site of a weekly vigil held by a group of activists known as AlliantAction. According to AlliantAction's Web site, the group's main concern with Alliant "is the violent solutions this Minnesota-based company represents to world conflict.”

ATK will be moving to a three-story office building that has yet to be constructed on 7480 Flying Cloud Drive. The office building development was approved by the City Council at its June 19 meeting.
