Letter from the Director

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

I’m beyond excited to serve as the Executive Director of Downtown Scottsboro! This role is so much more than just a job for me—it’s a true passion. Growing up in the charming downtown area of Gadsden, I fell in love with the unique magic that a vibrant downtown brings, and I can’t wait to bring that same energy and excitement to our very own Downtown Scottsboro!

Our downtown is the heart of Scottsboro, and I just know it has the potential to be a lively, welcoming space for everyone—both locals and visitors alike. My dream is to help create a downtown that truly shines with the spirit of our community, where businesses thrive and people gather to enjoy everything that makes our city so special.

Revitalizing and beautifying Downtown Scottsboro is a team effort, and I am so grateful for our incredible volunteers who have helped make this journey possible. Together, we can transform our downtown into a bustling, beautiful space we can all be proud of. Whether it’s adding gorgeous landscaping or hosting fun, community events, every step we take brings us closer to a bright and cheerful future for our downtown.

I’m fully committed to making this vision a reality, but I can’t do it without you! Your support means everything—whether you’re attending events, shopping locally, or sharing your ideas and feedback, you are such an important part of this journey.

Thank you so much for your support and for believing in the magic of our downtown. I’m so excited to see all the amazing things we’ll accomplish together!

Best,

Julia Whitehead
