Tallassee’s historic downtown is poised for a vibrant revival. With elevated riverfront views, walkable blocks, and direct access from major corridors, the district offers prime opportunities for retail growth. The TRA is focused on fostering locally-owned boutiques, restaurants, and mixed-use spaces that complement our community’s character while attracting new foot traffic. With a renewed vision for infrastructure, river access, and public gathering spaces, downtown is set to become the heartbeat of Tallassee’s future.
