What REV is doing now
REV Birmingham is a place-based revitalization and economic development nonprofit on a mission to create vibrant commercial districts.
From 2023 to 2025, we are executing a strategic plan to support entrepreneurs who dream of filling vacant spaces across the city, implement the City Center Master Plan in several downtown districts identified as strategic opportunity areas, and work with the Woodlawn community to strengthen their commercial district.
