Live, Work & Play
Overview
High quality of life
Strong family values, like they used to be, lends to the high quality of life in Franklin County. Crime is almost nonexistent. And there's a church nearby no matter where you live. Families cheer together as local kids play little league ball or on Friday night's during football season.
Franklin County has award winning bass fishing lakes, with largemouth bass over 15 pounds. Boating, water skiing and camping? We have that too. Nature lovers, come explore one of the many beautiful canyons we have to offer, or take a hike on a Sierra Club trail. Franklin County also has thousands of acres of wild game hunting, if that's your bag.
With over 700 acres developed for industry, Franklin County has nearly 70 industrial firms located in industrial parks in Russellville, Red Bay, Phil Campbell and Vina.
Take your time to explore our web site and see what we have to offer. Then come to visit us. Pretty soon we'll be calling you by name and hopefully, you'll be calling us "home".
