Downtown Montgomery has received a designation from Main Street Alabama in what has been described as an effort for revitalization in the area.
A statement from Main Street Alabama said that the Montgomery Downtown Business Association (DBA) will transition into the Main Street Designated program.
Afterwards Main Street will help in forming economic strategies to "enhance" existing businesses and attract new ones in a broad initiative to "improve" the district.
“Main Street Alabama is proud to work with Downtown Montgomery as our newest designated district, said Mary Helmer Wirth, Main Street Alabama State Coordinator. "We couldn't be more excited to partner with them on their revitalization journey. With its rich history and vibrant community, Montgomery is a perfect addition to our network of thriving downtowns."
"We can't wait to see what the future holds for this dynamic city and look forward to working together to make it an even more amazing place to live, work, and play. Welcome to the family, Montgomery!”

I am 76 years old and would love to dine more downtown, but can never find a parking space with in a reasonable distance at my age. So many parking spaces are reserved parking or loading areas.
