Get Involved
Join Us in Making a Difference: Volunteer for a Committee!
To make needed changes downtown in an efficient manner, we are organized into 4 main areas of focus, or points.
​
Each point has its own committee who works together to accomplish goals and projects for downtown.
Each of them covers different but equally important activities.
​
Explore the committees on this page, or get even more detail about them in the downloadable 2-page document below. Then apply for any of the committee's that interest you!
The Design Committee
A huge part of renewing downtown is going to be updating the look and feel of the streetscape and the buildings themselves.
Members of the design committee support our community’s transformation by enhancing the buildings and open spaces that set our historic district apart.
