CITY OF ALEXANDER CITY/LAKE MARTIN AREA
FEATURED ON ABC 33/40
The City of Alexander City and the Lake Martin area will be featured on ABC 33/40 with special commercials to attract visitors to our area with the idea that from the station’s viewing area, a visitor can travel to Alexander City and enjoy shopping, dining, hiking, bird watching, relaxing, picnicking, fishing, swimming, boating and all the other lake activities then return home all on one tank of fuel. Our commercials are scheduled to run during the following times next week:
Welcome to Alexander City, a unique community nestled in the heart of east central Alabama. Alexander City residents place a premium on quality of life. Our city is unlike most cities with a population of 16,000. It is much more prosperous and progressive, and boasts a very low crime rate and affordable cost-of-living. In addition, we enjoy a trade area population of approximately 125,000.
We have an outstanding public school system, active churches, exceptional health services, lovely homes, and beautiful Lake Martin, providing the embarkation point to unlimited recreational opportunities.
Alexander City is a pivotal point for transportation. We are located only 78 miles southeast of Birmingham, 55 miles northeast of Montgomery, 123 miles southwest of Atlanta, and 70 miles northwest of Columbus, GA. US Highway 280 runs through Alexander City connecting cities from Birmingham to Savannah, GA, and interstate highways 85 and 65 are less than an hour away. Twelve motor freight carriers serve the city daily and interchange with other carriers throughout the United States, and ground freight delivery to the city is available on a daily basis. Russell Field, Alexander City's municipal airport, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, provides 5400 feet of lighted runway, and offers service to executive jet aircraft.
Rail service is provided by Norfolk Southern Railroad. Alexander City is proud to boast a healthy business climate. Our local economy is based upon textile and apparel manufacturing, foundries, wood products, store fixtures, health services, and distribution. Aliant National, Wachovia Bank, Regions Bank, and Colonial Bank, as well as several savings and loan institutions, are extremely prosperous and supported by our community.
