Like many downtowns throughout the nation, development of contemporary malls and the proliferation of shopping centers lured businesses and customers away from the downtown area. However, unlike many other downtowns throughout the country that have been lost, dozens of historic structures in downtown Maryville remain and have enjoyed continuous use, or have been rehabilitated more recently. Currently, Maryville's downtown offers the community and visitors entertainment, office, restaurant, retail, recreation, government, education and religious institutions, medical, and housing opportunities. In addition, the new Blount County Library and scheduled community programs will further improve downtown's position in attracting individuals and families throughout the weekdays and weekends. The City of Maryville is committed to helping invigorate reinvestment of downtown properties by obtaining grants used for road and sidewalk improvements, safe and attractive lighting, benches, landscape and informative signage. The City and participating community businesses also sponsor numerous events downtown that add to the use and enjoyment of the downtown area.
