Why Downtown Membership Matters….

As a business or property owner, you already have a stake in Billings’ downtown community. Downtown Billings Association (DBA) membership provides the opportunity to have greater influence on Downtown Billings’ accelerating revitalization and economic growth.

The DBA serves as an advisory board to each of the Downtown Billings non-profit organizations. Through the DBA, each organization advocates to make the downtown Billings district a vibrant and thriving place, ripe for economic and civic opportunities. This work is accomplished through various community events, marketing campaigns, clean and safe programs, safety initiatives, economic development projects, and urban renewal efforts.
