DNA Attends MMSA 2025 Annual Awards Luncheon

June 18, 2025

Yesterday, June 17th, DNA Executive Director Leah Hunter, Board President Norma West, and Board Member Chesney Doyle proudly attended the Mississippi Main Street Association’s Annual Awards Luncheon.

This inspiring statewide gathering celebrates the people, projects, and partnerships driving downtown revitalization across Mississippi. We were honored to sit alongside leaders including Mississippi State Representative Robert Johnson, Mississippi State Senator Albert Butler, Mayor Dan Gibson, and Alderwoman Ward 1 Valencia Hall—each a valued champion for Downtown Natchez.

Thank you to MMSA for recognizing the transformational power of Main Street communities. We’re proud to be part of the statewide network working every day to preserve the past, invest in the present, and imagine the future of Mississippi’s historic downtowns.
