BIRMINGHAM, AL (November 15, 2023) – Today, Washington County Economic Alliance and Delta Compass President & CEO, Justin Archer Burch, announced that the organization has contracted with Retail Strategies in Birmingham, Alabama to strengthen Washington County as the Delta’s regional hub for commerce and accommodation. “Washington County’s reach is over 90 miles wide and serves a population of 287,774 people with hotel, retail, and accommodation services. If you live in the Delta, Washington County is where you access services, eat, play, and recreate. Retail Strategies gives us a leg up in attracting new businesses to the region to meet the needs of over a quarter million people in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas,” said Burch.

“As the hub of the Delta region, Washington County is prime for growth,” said Lacey Bacchus, Senior Director of Community Partnerships. “The infrastructure improvements that are underway will give way to new retail and restaurant opportunities that our team will focus on. We’re excited to work Justin Burch and his team at Washington County Economic Alliance.”
