Retail and Commercial Growth
Walker County is a great place to live, work, worship, play and operate a business. The much anticipated and heavily traveled I-22 corridor runs through the heart of Walker County from Memphis to Birmingham. This has created a boon for local businesses, including Jasper, the county seat. Jasper’s downtown district has seen significant revitalization with renovations and improvements to many historic buildings. A variety of new restaurants and locally owned retail stores have opened.
Downtown Jasper and many other areas of Walker County have experienced growth. Many national brands have come to make their homes in Walker County, such as Tractor & Supply, Hobby Lobby, Applebees, Aldi, Harbour Freight, Dunhams, Starbucks and more.
