Amory Main Street was organized and accepted into the statewide  Mississippi  Main  Street  Association  and  the National Trust Main Street Center in the summer of 2004, due to the efforts of local citizens to bring about revitalization and historic preservation in the Historic Downtown District of Amory. An eighteen-person Board of Directors and a Main Street Manager are in place with office space at 129 Main Street North, Suite A, in the City of Amory Utilities Building.  Active volunteer committees for Design, Promotion and Economic Restructuring are working toward long range plans for the downtown area. Promotion activities such as Christmas Candlelight Open House, Pep Rallies in the Park, Spring Fling, Art Displays and Fourth on the Third have been enjoyed by citizens of  Amory.  Design  projects include the Post Clock in the Park, seasonal flags welcoming shoppers and visitors, flowers and decorations along the street and sidewalks and planning of guidelines for the historic area. Economic Restructuring  has  worked toward a local Tax Abatement Ordinance and Loan Pool and has seen new businesses and expanded businesses enjoy success in downtown Amory in the past four years. In addition, several downtown buildings have been purchased and have been or are being rehabilitated for new uses.   With exciting retail businesses, restaurants and offices in the downtown area, this heart of our city is showing definite signs of revitalization and renewal. The invitation is always there for everyone to come to Downtown Amory to discover all the possibilities!
