Preserving our past.
Investing in our future.
The Southside Alliance brings neighbors, businesses, friends, and community partners together to preserve, enhance, and strengthen Huntington's Southside.
A community worth preserving.
Huntington's Southside is more than a collection of streets and homes. It is a neighborhood shaped by history, architecture, families, local businesses, parks, and generations of people who care deeply about this community.
The Southside Alliance works to protect what makes our neighborhood special while creating thoughtful opportunities for improvement, investment, and community connection.
