How we support downtown
Beautifying & Revitalizing Downtown
We support beautification projects, improvements, and long-term revitalization efforts that enhance downtown’s appearance, character, and overall experience. Through the Main Street B&O Tax Credit Incentive Program, we bring funding into downtown to support continued revitalization.
Supporting Local Businesses
We help new and existing businesses thrive by increasing their visibility, connecting them with resources, and supporting programs such as the Beautiful Buildings Grant. Visit Downtown Map makes it easier for people to discover and support local businesses.
Partnerships & Collaboration
We bring together local businesses, property owners, residents, students, and community organizations to strengthen partnerships and create new opportunities. We work closely with Washington State University, the City of Pullman, the Pullman Chamber of Commerce, local nonprofits, and other community partners.
Bringing Downtown to Life
We organize community events and experiences that bring people together, attract visitors, and increase foot traffic for local businesses. From seasonal celebrations to live music and community gatherings, our events help make Downtown Pullman an active and welcoming destination throughout the year.
Promoting Downtown
We showcase downtown businesses, share their stories, and promote Downtown Pullman as a destination through DPA social media, marketing campaigns, business features, and community outreach. Our efforts help build a recognizable downtown identity and encourage people to shop, dine, and explore locally.
Connecting Volunteers & Downtown
We create and facilitate volunteer opportunities that bring people together and support downtown businesses, events, and improvement projects. By connecting community members, WSU students, and local organizations with meaningful opportunities to get involved, we help strengthen downtown and encourage community participation
