Downtown Districts Funding & Scope of Work Research

As we all work diligently to ensure the economic vitality of our Mainstreets/Downtown Districts during and post COVID19, it is imperative that we look at our funding models, budgets, and scope of work so that we can optimize our services and guarantee our success. 

We are doing this research so that we have all the available data to discuss with our City and community partners, allowing us to build the strongest plan for our Downtown District.

Thank you for participating, and we are happy to share the results of this survey with you to inform your own brainstorming and decision making.

Thanks, again. We believe that small business matters, and that thriving downtown districts are the cornerstones of healthy communities across our country.  We salute the hard work that you do!    

- The Downtown Bend Business Association (DBBA)
