Sylacauga has earned the reputation for being both progressive and beautiful. I am also proud to announce that Sylacauga has won thirteen national beautification awards. Downtown Sylacauga has remained a strong retail center. Our banks, retail trade, industries, and organizations working together for a common goal have produced a stable environment for businesses, residences, and schools. The quality of life opportunities in Sylacauga expand from arts to family-oriented activities. The city provides for annual festivals, theater performing groups, athletic activities for all ages, concerts and exhibits. Sylacaugans are proud of the many beautiful parks that provide excellent family-type activities and the well-preserved museum that displays local, state and national history. The city government is presently working on a downtown re-development project that will greatly enhance the beauty of our city. The project provides for improved pedestrian connections from downtown to nearby neighborhoods, between schools, and from downtown to our major thoroughfare, Highway 280. This project also provides for an additional park in the downtown area and two walking tracks. Sylacauga is like the marble it produces - strong, healthy, and is always ready to shine. We are committed to a strong economic environment and a safe and healthy place to raise a family. We stand out as a leader in the quality of life for all our citizens. Come for a visit.
