Dale County, in the heart of the Alabama Wiregrass Region, has prolific business opportunities and a superior quality of life. Although we are the number one Micropolitan Statistical Area in Alabama, our story cannot be told through demographics alone. Our residents are patriotic, active, and friendly. Dale County Lake is the centerpiece of our recreation, and Fort Novosel is a vital part of our community, contributing to our labor shed of 200,000 in a 45-mile radius of the county. We are primed for growth in aerospace and aviation, advanced manufacturing, food processing, metal fabrication, and distribution and logistics.
