Northwest Alabama Economic Development Alliance

Our region - which consists of Marion, Fayette, and Lamar counties - offers the best of both worlds: well-connected to metro areas and the global economy, yet with lots of room to breathe in safe, welcoming communities in a picturesque rural setting. Our shovel-ready, certified industrial parks offer easy on-off access to unbeatable highway infrastructure including two interstates, I-20 to the south and I-22 to the north. We are an hour’s drive of population centers totaling over 1.7 million people.
