ENTERPRISE, Ala. (WDNews) – More benches could be coming to downtown Enterprise through a new fundraiser.
Mariah Montgomery, Main Street Enterprise Executive Director, told Enterprise City Council during a recent work session that the Design Committee is interested in starting a fundraising campaign for the benches.
“Our current benches were well received by the public and we are excited to continue furnishing the district,” Montgomery said. “Benches allow visitors a comfortable spot to rest, extend their stay and enjoy the beauty of the Main Street Enterprise district.”
Montgomery said the goal is for businesses, civic groups, and other organizations to sponsor benches that will be strategically placed downtown. Each sponsor would have their contribution recognized through a plaque on the bench.
The Main Street Enterprise Design Committee has mapped out potential locations for benches along Main and East College Streets. Montgomery said the group needs to have a minimum of four benches sponsored before purchase, due to the cost of shipping and handling.
Four aluminum benches were installed in September 2023. The benches were purchased following a donation from the Enterprise Rotary Club. The Main Street Enterprise Design Committee selected the benches as part of the master furnishing plan, which also includes bump outs, trash receptacles and bike racks.
