Mary Helmer Wirth knows all about falling in love with a place.

It’s a feeling Helmer Wirth experiences regularly as the president and state coordinator of Main Street Alabama. Through her work, she helps smaller and historic communities increase their appeal in hopes of bringing in jobs, resources and people.

“Economic development is at the heart of this state, and I absolutely adore being there for our smaller communities and helping them become more vibrant,” Helmer Wirth said. “Our mission is to create jobs while keeping character. We work with downtowns and neighborhood and commercial districts in Alabama. We also help business owners be more successful.”
