I Believe in Downtown!
Downtown is not only a place, but a sense of place - a place where ideas and people come together and where local businesses thrive to create a unique destination for visitors, residents and professionals. As a business or an individual, we ask that you make a commitment to support downtown each week by visiting our businesses, shopping, dining or attending a downtown event.
That could be breakfast at a local coffee shop, business cards at a local printer or purchasing a special anniversary gift at a local boutique. The economic impact you make is significant.
Inspired by projects in other downtowns across the country such as the 3/50 Project, "I Believe in Downtown" gives you the opportunity to support a big picture commitment.
Here's How to Show Your Support
Register as an independent business or as an individual below to show your support and to access free "I Believe in Downtown" marketing materials. As a supporter, you will be able to request graphics for your website, download printable enclosure cards and flyers, and order window clings and posters. Together we can engage local action for positive results.

Check out these stats, reported from the 3/50 Project
- 3: What three independently owned businesses would you miss if they disappeared? Stop in. Say hello. Pick up something that brings a smile. Your purchases are what keeps those businesses around.
- 50: If half the employed population spent $50 a month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate more than $42.6 billion in revenue.
- 68: For every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
