\u201cMain Street of Alabama\u201d<\/a> in the summer of 2025, which made professional support available to revitalize a historic downtown.<\/p>\nNow, it is officially an entertainment district. It\u2019s the second one in the city; the first one was Town Madison.<\/p>\n
\u201cMain Street Madison has several goals,\u201d explained Jen Delessio, the Executive Director for Main Street Madison. \u201cOne is certainly to drive foot traffic and get more people aware of downtown and how lovely it is. We want to strengthen the businesses that we do have here, and we really feel that this entertainment district is going to help, that we also want to attract new business, and we want to make it prettier. So we\u2019re going to be doing all of those things as an organization. \u201d<\/p>\n
It needed four businesses that sell alcohol to sign on. Tammy Hall co-owns all the restaurants that endorsed this project: The Vine & Oak, Zonotta\u2019s Ristorante, Main Street Cafe and Lanier House.<\/p>\n
The five blocks of Downtown Madison are exclusively small businesses run by local entrepreneurs who are cornerstones of the Madison community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are the businesses that they come to, to donate to the high schools, to give this or give that,\u201d Hall said. \u201cWe\u2019re pretty receptive to those things. We do a ton of stuff in the community. The teachers need this, or the city needs this, or whatever. And I\u2019m like, sure, sure, sure, we\u2019ll do it. But they\u2019re not going to, you know, the corporate-owned restaurants to do that because, because they want to help me with my business.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many city leaders want to start building more in Madison so they don\u2019t have to rely on Huntsville – especially since the city has grown from approximately 4,000 to 64,000 in 26 years, according to State Senator Tom Butler.<\/p>\n
\u201cMore or less just creating coming of our own, being our own town here, and not necessarily being reliant on Huntsville for everything that we want to do for entertainment purposes,\u201d Hall said.<\/p>\n
Patrons will be able to drink in Downtown Madison from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Monday through Saturday. Locals can drink outdoors between 11 a.m. and 9 p.m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
