Our Mission

Leeds Main Street is grassroots economic development. We believe in the unique character of our place, the power of our people to preserve it, and the effectiveness of our four-point approach of Organization, Design, Promotion, and Economic Vitality to keep our downtown vital. 

Our Vision

We are dedicated to creating a vibrant downtown where friends gather, businesses thrive, memories are made, and communities grow stronger. This is the place to go to feel connected.

Leeds Main Street is a nonprofit organization based in Leeds, Alabama, and dedicated to bringing businesses, people, and dollars back to our community by focusing on the four-points provided by Main Street America's proven approach that has helped many other cities across the county: Promotion, Design, Organization, and Economic Vitality. 

Get involved

On June 1, 2022, Leeds, Alabama, became a Designated Main Street Community. This designation means that our community is ready for a downtown transformation.

With the resources and support from Main Street Alabama, we have begun revitalizing our downtown area, but this program also relies on community support, so we need your help!

Whether you’ve grown up in Leeds generationally, or are a newly planted citizen, we can all agree we want to see our beautiful small town thrive and flourish. Main Street’s program is helping us achieve that goal.

Main Street Alabama is a revitalization program that has a heart for small town charm. With their help, we see the future of Leeds downtown as a beautiful, bustling historic town center filled with a mix of quaint shops and restaurants, art, and landscaping that our citizens will love and want to walk around and enjoy on a Sunday afternoon. A city that our children and grandchildren will see and enjoy as it grows and want to continue to be a part of. A city that all of Leeds can be proud of!
