Comparisons are often made between Fort Payne and Albertville in terms of economic development.

Albertville, on the other hand, moved forward with an audacious project requiring a huge financial investment. A picture of that city’s return on investment is becoming clearer.
The Sand Mountain Park & Amphitheater announced this week it has generated $23.2 million in economic impact for Marshall County during the timeframe of October 2021-September 2022.
