Purpose of Our Downtown Organization

 

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.
