We here at Main Street Montgomery wanted to share updates from the Mayor’s Office that impact our neighborhood and all the citizens of Montgomery.

In our executive board meeting that wrapped just prior to this press conference, we discussed the need to share more poignant data with the folks in our community and those who are interested in contributing to its progress — hopefully, all of you.

Progress isn’t linear. But, we are always hopeful. We invite you to join us, and those who tirelessly work to make Montgomery the great place she is.
