Why?
The members of DMI want to preserve this area's rich historic heritage and bring new life and purpose to it. We have focused on:

• developing the area's infrastructure through projects such as the Downtown Streetscape Program and the Mispillion Riverwalk;
• improving the quality of our downtown real estate through programs such as our matching grant program for structural and facade improvements;
• attracting and supporting businesses which can make the most productive use of the downtown real estate, for example through our revolving small business loan program;
• organizing and supporting community events in the downtown area such as Saturday Farmers' Market, Bug & Bud Festival, Holiday Stroll, and Santa's House.

When?

• DMI members and supporters have been meeting on a regular basis since 1993. Currently DMI meetings are held at 7:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month in City Hall at 201 S. Walnut Street.
