TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 Downtown Troy<\/a> has become home to many local events and several businesses and now every store window you see is full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the population grows, more businesses come to the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Troy Mayor Jason Reeves says with Troy University’s<\/a> upcoming large freshman class and returning students coming back in the fall, it\u2019s exciting to see the city grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited,” Reeves said. “We know we\u2019ve had a little bit of a downturn through COVID and we\u2019re seeing a real bounce back.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reeves says the city and the University work together to create a space that is appealing to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur long-range plan has always been to try to grow downtown towards the university,” Reeves explained. “We want to have the best town-gown relationship in the country, and I think we have the opportunity to do that.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downtown square is also an event location for several local events, like TroyFest and the University Homecoming Parade. The downtown square is also where Troy University\u2019s Idea Bank resides, which means even more University-related events take place at the downtown square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reeves says events on the square allow people to explore everything the square has to offer and give downtown businesses the chance to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAny chance that we get to show off downtown, I think that\u2019s helped, and it\u2019s really just a synergistic effect where each business thrives off each other,\u201d Reeves said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city of Troy is growing outside of the downtown square as well. Reeves told TrojanvVision about the city\u2019s plans to place more businesses on South Brundidge Street and on Highway 231.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Reeves, Troy residents can expect new restaurants, like Moe\u2019s Original Barbeque, retail stores, and a bowling alley to be in Troy in the near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
