Opelika Main Street was recently honored at the Main Street Alabama Awards of Excellence.
Opelika Main Street, directed by Pam Powers-Smith, is a nationally recognized program that uses a four-point approach to revitalize downtown areas. Main Street's approach is unique because its guiding principles are different from other redevelopment strategies. These principles include a comprehensive approach, incremental projects, community involvement and a strong public/private partnership.
Local awards include:
» Excellence in Business Promotion for “On the Tracks – A Food & Wine Event”;
» Excellence in Public/Private Partnerships with Opelika Cottonseed Studios;
» Award of Excellence for Best Overall Marketing Campaign for a downtown;
» Main Street Alabama Community Award for Stacie Money (owner of Fringe).
“It’s an honor to recognize these outstanding community projects, leaders and volunteers,” stated Mary Helmer, president/state coordinator for Main Street Alabama.
“The award winners represent the most innovative downtown revitalization projects in our Main Street Alabama communities. The effort and leadership it takes to move these projects from concept through completion is tremendous and we are thrilled to acknowledge such achievements. We are especially honored to be presenting these awards on Main Street Alabama Day, as proclaimed by Governor Bentley.”
Main Street Alabama focuses on bringing jobs, dollars and people back to Alabama’s historic communities. Economic development is at the heart of efforts to revitalize downtowns and neighborhood commercial districts.
