RETIREES...
Gadsden and Etowah County is the
ideal places for your new home. Choosing to move is a big
decision and we want you to feel comfortable with your new
surroundings. The Gadsden Area Chamber of Commerce is making
a special effort to encourage retirees or retired couples to
make their permanent home in Etowah County. Whether you
choose Gadsden, Rainbow City, Southside, Attalla. Glencoe,
Hokes Bluff or another home site in our area, we are
confident you will enjoy the many attributes our community
has to offer. Attributes such as climate, fishing, boating,
golf, tax advantages on state retiree income, and the
overall low cost of living make Etowah County an ideal place
to live. Other livability factors, less obvious but equally
important and found in the Gadsden community can be
categorized as "citizen awareness and concern."
Friendliness, caring for others and a concern for the
community, are just a few of the factors which contribute to
a special way of life in the Gadsden and Etowah County area.
If you are interested in a lifestyle
that is exciting, offers a variety of interests and
opportunities but at the same time, allows you less
congestion, a safe environment and people who not only tell
you. "It's nice to see you;' but mean it, write to The
Chamber, P.O. Box 185, Gadsden, AL 35902 or call Leslie
Bailey at 256-543-3472.
"The society of Gadsden is refined and
cultivated. The healthfulness of the place. and the beauty
of its surroundings. have conspired us to draw to it the
best class of population, and in a few years no doubt its
society will rival in culture some of the older cities of
the New England States." Prof. J.W. DuBose in NORTHERN
ALABAMA.
"The climate is all that could he
desired, being exempt from either extreme heat or cold...the
county has a very generous rainfall. and at the same time
its distribution is such as to practically exempt the county
from either floods or droughts." (From the same book)
