Why Downtown Membership Matters….
Nowhere identifies and unites the cultural, economic, and elemental values of a city like it’s downtown.
The Downtown Billings Association (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.
Do these statements resonate with you?
- I believe thriving cities have a vibrant downtown.
- I believe Downtowns are leading economic drivers for their cities.
- I believe that a Downtown’s vibrancy is reflected in its high density.
