Dale County: Where You Want to Work and Live
Ozark-Dale County has the location, innovation, and business advantages you seek while being intimate enough to deliver ease of access to the attention and resources you need.
Not only is Ozark ranked the a top Micropolitan in Alabama, but out of 543 nationally designated Micropolitan Statistical Areas (MICRO)*, Ozark ranks 39. Access to global markets through a convenient network of highways, ports, rail, and airports is part of the reason why. In fact, Alabama is only a day’s drive from half of the U.S. population.
Dale County’s Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)-Qualified Community designation means our claims for workforce, infrastructure, and leadership have been researched and verified. Dale County is the first in Alabama to receive the FDI designation and one of only five in the entire nation.
Dale County has another major advantage that cannot be replicated: Fort Novosel. The “Home of Army Aviation” draws in skilled workers and innovators, while the region’s small-town charm and quality of life encourage them to stay.
