Economic Development - The City of Anniston

The Anniston Department of Economic Development assists companies in corporate, manufacturing, and retail development. Our economic development department is proactive and targeted on business sectors based on our workforce and resource strengths.

In Anniston, we desire to grow our business base through the creative use of real estate development practices in addition to continuing to provide quality infrastructure for our businesses. Our priorities will be extended toward value-added projects that bring in wealth from outside of the Anniston Region.

In addition to Corporate Development, the Department of Economic Development is also engaged in retail and downtown development through Main Street Anniston. Plans are underway to follow the best practices to take the downtown area around Noble Street and bring new dollars to its development. To learn more about starting a downtown business, please download our Downtown Business Resource Guide.

We embrace that we are a part of a greater region along Interstate 20 and that many of the businesses that are located in Anniston depend on the vast resources which are located in Anniston and our neighboring communities.
