About the HDKP

The Downtown Kennewick area has experienced a transition over the past decade into a healthy business district.  This revitalization has been guided, in large part, by the Historic Downtown Kennewick Partnership.  The following are key elements in the revitalization efforts: 

• Developing partnerships with other community-minded organizations in order to maintain and expand the downtown

• Creating promotional events designed to bring thousands of people downtown

• Making recruiting and retention efforts that focus on inviting complementary businesses that fill the needs of our target customers

• Putting your tax dollars to work through the Main Street Tax Credit Program.

HDKP is a 501c3 and our Bylaws may be viewed here: Organization Bylaws
