Area Resources

The Shoals area has a population of over 140,000 and offers the experience of a small Southern town, including a generous helping of Southern hospitality, with all the amenities of a large city.

The Shoals is situated on the beautiful Tennessee River and is the closest metropolitan area to the mouth of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The market boasts a convenient port facility where imports can be cleared locally by the U.S. Customs Service. Located just 40 miles from Interstate 65, the Shoals is also home to Northwest Alabama Regional Airport, a full service facility with commercial air service. In addition, the Shoals is located on the Norfolk Southern Rail line and the switching yard for most major southern rail companies is located in the market.
