The City of Leeds — which straddles Jefferson, Shelby, and St. Clair counties — is one of four new Main Street Alabama cities, along with Demopolis in Marengo County, Talladega in Talladega County and LaFayette in Chambers County.
The City of Leeds is one of four new Main Street Alabama cities.
“The application itself is meant to have a community take a good look at themselves from vacancies, absentee property owners, historic properties, and the current economy in the downtown or neighborhood commercial district,” Mary Helmer Wirth, Main Street Alabama president and state coordinator, said.
Demopolis, home to about 6,700, wants to capitalize on outdoor recreation at the meeting place of the Tombigbee and Black Warrior Rivers. Marketing, increasing shopping and dining options, and renovating its historic Marengo Theater are priorities. LaFayette is planning to improve the appearance of its historic buildings and streetscapes, diversify its retail mix, increase activity in the downtown district after normal business hours, and galvanize community participation in the overall improvement of the city.
