Selma Main Street will hold its designated kickoff event on July 28 at the Carl C Morgan Convention Center.Â
Selma was selected to join the Main Street Alabama program in June. The city is now among other Black Belt communities to be part of the program, the others being Demopolis, Marion and Montgomery.Â
The kickoff will feature state Main Street leaders with Selma leaders involved in the Selma Redevelopment Authority and city government that will play key roles in the program.
Main Street Alabama officials will outline next steps for the Selma organizers, including plans for a team of experts in each area of the program's Four Point approach - Design, Organization, Promotion and Economic Vitality - to visit  downtown Selma from Nov. 4 -6.
After two years of planning, Selma was announced to become a designated Main Street city in early June. Selma was recognized by Gov. Kay Ivey as a Main Street Alabama Designated Community during a proclamation ceremony held on July 16.Â
