The Downtown Association primarily serves its members in the areas of Parking, Promotions, Design, Economic Activities, Thursday Night Promotions and Food Beverage & Services (see our committee page). Committees for these issues are comprised of business owners, employees and the public at large. The 11-member Board of Directors is comprised of business owners and managers.

One important fact about the Downtown Association operation is that it is entirely voluntary, with the exception of the staff, and that it is a member-run organization. The businesses are their own guide and determine the ultimate direction of the Downtown Association.

When the Downtown Association’s current Strategic Business Plan reached its shelf life of five years in 2006, the organization realized it was important to update the guiding document to assist in navigating through the waters of change looming on the horizon. The City Council concurred, agreeing to fund a major portion of the update.

Begining in March 2013 the Downtown Association began the process of updating its current plan looking forward to 2018 and beyond. This update will be released at the State of Downtown Breakfast meeting on August 7, 2013 and posted here shortly afterward.
