Marshall County Gas District

Recruiting new businesses is one focus of the Marshall County Economic Development Council, a nonprofit economic development agency based in Guntersville and serving municipalities throughout Marshall County, including Albertville. It also works with existing businesses on retention and expansion efforts. The Council assists local county and municipal governments with economic and community development projects. Its information for prospective businesses describes Marshall County's industrial sites, commercial properties, workforce, transportation connections, tax rates, and business incentive programs. The county is positioned in Northeast Alabama, south of Huntsville and within reach of Chattanooga and Birmingham. Transportation resources cited include jet-capable airports, major highways, Tennessee River port access, and rail connections. The Council's work centers on business recruitment and local economic development, rather than manufacturing services.
