Friends of Main Street (FOM) is a 501c3 Organization of the Downtown Enterprise Business Association (DEBA)
Welcome to Downtown Enterprise, a designated Main Street Community. Our goal is to ensure the vitality of Downtown Enterprise by utilizing the National Main Street Approach™.
Downtown Enterprise is the heart of our city, rooted in southern tradition. You can expect friendliness, hospitality, and a slight southern drawl around every corner. We also have the wonderful influence of many cultures due to our ongoing association with Fort Novosel, the home of Army Aviation. We think you will find that Enterprise is the perfect blend of both worlds, mixing southern tradition and cultural diversity.
OUR MISSION
“At DEBA/ Friends of Main Street, our mission is to empower business owners and foster connections among downtown merchants to cultivate a bustling center of activity for the community. We are committed to giving back to our community while creating an inviting environment that makes downtown a premier destination to shop, dine, and play. Through our collaborative efforts, we aim to enhance the vibrancy and appeal of our downtown, ensuring it thrives as the beating heart of our city.”
