Anniston, Alabama, has received a $750,000 federal grant from the National Park Service’s Paul Bruhn Historic Revitalization program. These funds will be allocated as subgrants by the Anniston Downtown Development Authority to help transform the city’s historic downtown.

Anniston’s search for its next city manager is set to advance with interviews at the Anniston City Meeting Center. However, the process is already drawing scrutiny from incoming council members, who have voiced concerns about the hiring procedure.
