It’s no secret that our downtown district is the heart of our community. It’s where residents and visitors come together to shop for everything from cupcakes to kayaks, to dine on empanadas or pizzas or phō, and to enjoy parks, gyms, a library, and even a classic movie theater. In order to ensure the continued success and sustainability of our downtown, we are proposing the establishment of a dedicated Downtown Coordinator position to spearhead important initiatives such as grant writing, event planning, and marketing.
Here are some specific ways in which the Downtown Coordinator will contribute to the growth and vitality of our downtown:
Grant Writing: The Downtown Manager will actively seek out grant opportunities and work diligently to secure additional funding for the implementation of projects that benefit our local businesses. This will enable us to undertake streetscape enhancements, facade renovations, and infrastructure upgrades.
Event Planning: Our Downtown Coordinator will organize engaging and memorable events throughout the year. These will serve as magnets for both residents and visitors, drawing attention to the unique history, architecture, and character of our downtown and creating opportunities for increased sales.
Marketing and Promotion: The Downtown Coordinator will develop comprehensive marketing campaigns that highlight Downtown Huntingdon’s many distinctive offerings by leveraging social media, local publications, and a strong relationship with the Visitors Bureau. This enhanced visibility will drive more customers through the doors of our local merchants and businesses.
