On June 1, 2018, Scottsboro proudly became the 22nd designated Main Street Alabama community. Main Street Alabama, an affiliate of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has been revitalizing downtown districts across the state for over thirty years. Each year, the organization selects three new communities to join its network. In 2018, South Huntsville, Foley, and Scottsboro were chosen.

Scottsboro’s application was bolstered by approximately seventy-five letters of support, showcasing a solid grassroots movement that impressed local leaders. The community demonstrated the capacity to sustain the program and effectively utilize its assets, making their application stand out. With this designation, Downtown Scottsboro can access Main Street Alabama’s design and historic preservation expertise, planning, economic development, organizational management, and training. This grassroots network comprises small towns, mid-sized communities, and urban commercial districts, all working together to enhance their downtown areas.
