New park in Scottsboro will level up downtown by bringing live music + more
Reading time: 3 minutes
Around 45 minutes from Huntsville, Scottsboro features a charming downtown and is most famous for the iconic store Unclaimed Baggage.
If you haven’t visited for a day trip yet, you’ll want to time your trip with the unveiling of Two Sisters Square—a new green space coming to downtown Scottsboro. Read on to learn more about this exciting project and how it’ll continue the growth of downtown.
A project rooted in community
The Two Sisters Square project has already been in the works for three years, and the crew officially broke ground on February 17. According to the Jackson County Sentinel, the project has not been without its hardships, facing funding obstacles and the death of Gentry-Michaels, a key part of the team behind the park.
Nonetheless, the team has continued to stay strong, work hard and move the project forward. Although an official opening date has not been announced, the Downtown Scottsboro Facebook page has continued to post progress photos along the way.
What will Two Sisters Square bring to downtown Scottsboro?
The Scottsboro Main Street board spent some time traveling to other cities to garner inspiration from their downtown green spaces in order to forge a vision for the Two Sisters Square project. Here’s what you can expect to see at the park’s completion:
- A stage perfect for live music
- Expanded parking
- Lush green space
- Newly planted trees
