Art Bikes Anniston caught the eye of more than just our local community. The hard work and vision of our students was recognized at the sixth annual Awards of Excellence program that took place on the day Governor Ivey proclaimed as “Main Street Alabama Day.”
During the Awards of Excellence program, Main Street Alabama’s President and State Coordinator, Mary Helmer, honored projects that fulfilled the mission of creating jobs and keeping character in communities across the state. Art Bikes Anniston, the collaboration between Main Street Anniston and The Donoho School, received recognition for Excellence in Placemaking.
“It’s an honor to recognize these outstanding community projects, leaders and volunteers,” said Helmer. “Today’s award winners represent the most innovative downtown revitalization projects in our Main Street Alabama communities. As our program grows, we continue to encourage our local communities to pursue and demand excellence for their districts, and strive to create places that are authentic and welcoming to entrepreneurs. Projects recognized with an Award of Excellence are truly charting new territory in downtown revitalization in Alabama. The effort and leadership it takes to move these projects from concept through completion is tremendous, and we are thrilled to acknowledge such achievements. We are especially honored to be presenting these awards the day Governor Ivey proclaimed Main Street Alabama Day.”
Congratulations to all of our students who worked on the Art Bikes Anniston Project.
