 Marion
County's prospects for economic growth are high because of the
tremendous amount of infrastructure in place throughout the county.
HIGHWAYS - Corridor "X"
(US 78), a major 4-lane highway built to interstate standards, is
complete through 80% of Marion County providing easy access to Memphis
and markets west. The 4-lane construction is planned to be complete
in late 2004 establishing 4-lane service from Atlanta to Memphis.
Corridor "V" (US 24), a major 4?lane highway north of
Marion County is complete from Russellville to Decatur (Interstate
65) providing access to the northeast US.
Also see the TRANSPORTATION section
of this Website.
ELECTRICAL - Primary electrical service
is supplied through Alabama Power Company's 161-kV transmission
system looped through Marion County with dual supply sources from
the east and south.
Both Alabama Power and Tombigbee
Electric Cooperative distribute power throughout the county
at 44-kV and 12-kV.
TVA has a 500-kV transmission line constructed diagonally across
the county entering just west of the town of Bear Creek, passing
just east of Hamilton and exiting the county about 9-miles east
of the Alabama/Mississippi state line.
NATURAL GAS - Northwest Alabama Gas Company
supplies natural gas through a network of gas lines in the county.
This supplier has a substantial advantage over many other gas suppliers
because of an underground pumped storage facility near Marion County.
This facility allows the company to maintain lower gas prices and
greater reliability by storing large quantities (8 billion cubic
feet of planned capacity) of gas when prices are cheaper. The company
also has a major 10-inch line entering the county on the southwest,
passing east of Hamilton and exiting the county to the north.
Tennessee Gas Company has 30" and 36" lines passing through
the county just west of Hamilton. These lines supply 1.9 billion
cubic feet of gas each day to the northeast United States and can
be tapped for use by industry.
TELECOMMUNICATIONS - CenturyTel is
the supplier of telecommunications services and has fiber optic
cables that completely loop inside the county making available fiber
connected redundant telecommunications service at any location.
RAIL SERVICE - Burlington-Northern provides
rail service in south Marion County and Norfolk-Southern rail service
is available in northeast Marion County through the town of Bear
Creek.
Also see the TRANSPORTATION section
of this Website.
WATER - Both surface and underground water
sources supply the municipal and Marion County Water District's
systems with substantial capacities available. The systems have
been or are being connected throughout the county.
