Main Street Aspiring Community

Selma was the first Main Street Community in Alabama and has held fast to the idea that downtown is the heart of our city.  SRA became a Network Main Street Community in 2023 and an Aspiring Community in 2024 with the help of the City of Selma.  Through our partnership with Main Street Alabama we offer a variety of services to our downtown businesses, merchants, and property owners and can be a vital partner in Selma’s downtown revitalization.  In addition to these services, Main Street Alabama offers important training opportunities.  This is a great opportunity for our community to learn how to revitalize Downtown Selma!
