Downtown Decatur, Alabama, is the place to be.
Over the past several years, the city’s downtown has been transformed into the vibrant destination we know today. Thanks to beautification projects, business recruitment, and new developments, Downtown Decatur has seen booming growth.
According to Kelly Thomas, Executive Director of the Decatur Downtown Redevelopment Authority, over $70 million was invested in construction downtown in 2022, and nearly $80 million is planned for 2023.
“I don’t know what the next five to ten years are going to look like,” said Thomas. “But I’m excited to see because if they’re anything like our last ten [years], it’s going to be extremely life-changing.”
One thing is clear: As Downtown Decatur continues to thrive, its residents, business owners, and visitors will all reap the benefits for years to come.
