Community Initiatives

As New Albany’s downtown celebrates over twenty-five years of substantial growth, New Albany Main Street continues working the four point approach in the historic district as well in other areas of the city. Organizing festivals, supporting the local farmers' market, partnering with the Union County Library to provide free community events, writing grants for park revitalization and public art, collaborating with garden clubs and schools to promote programs, and conducting work days with volunteer groups from the local Boys & Girls Club and The University of Mississippi are some of the many projects that New Albany Main Street has taken on to support as many of the residents of New Albany as possible.

Downtown Murals 

These murals are being painted by professional artists, thanks to a $100,000 grant from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). The grant was secured through the Mississippi Main Street Revitalization Grant Program. The murals will feature themes celebrating our local history, nature, and community pride.

 

 Downtown murals are a vibrant celebration of art and community. These murals, painted on the exteriors of downtown buildings, bring life and color to the area, showcasing themes that reflect the city's culture, history, and natural beauty. They are part of an initiative to beautify the city and attract visitors, with funding and support from local organizations and artists
