People drive from all over West Tennessee to visit the Shops of Alamo. Shops that have items like a $350 upside-down Christmas tree. Haley Jones is the owner of the Merle Norman & Just for You shop. “I believe once they fix the sidewalks and dress it up a little bit we will promote people in the county as well as those outside the county to come in and shop with us,” she said. Better sidewalks, lights, landscaping improvements are all part of the plan. Alamo has applied for an $807,500 federal grant through the TDOT enhancement program. Crockett County has also requested money. “It is funded about a $612,000 project, eighty percent of it is grant money, the remaining twenty percent will have to be funded by the county,” said Crockett County Mayor Gary Reasons. The Mayor said taxes will not go up. The additional 20 percent will come from the county general fund. That’s Hot Boutique & Tanning. “I think it will be great for my business and all the businesses in Crockett County, ” said owner Angie Lucas. “I think it will make Alamo even more unique, ” said Gwen Powell, co-owner of Village Gifts.
