Atmore became affiliated with the Main Street Alabama program through the Network tier in 2015. At this introductory level, members become more familiar with the program, attend training workshops at a discounted rate, and are given the opportunity to visit other Designated cities to see first­hand the success of Main Street. Earlier this year, after meeting many milestones including securing funding for many projects in the district, and realizing the need to move forward with Designation, the steering committee, that included representatives from the City, Atmore Area Chamber of Commerce, and Pride of Atmore, attended application workshops in Enterprise, Birmingham, and South Huntsville. By March when the pandemic hit, the committee decided to move forward with the application as they felt the Main Street Alabama program was needed more than ever due to the impact of COVID-19 on their small businesses. By expressing the need for Main Street and the capacity to maintain a program, Atmore officially became a Main Street Alabama Designated community in June 2020.
