BID says "Thank You" to our 2009 partners:

City of Durango, Downtown Block Captains, independent event organizers, Durango Chamber of Commerce, Durango Area Tourism Office, individual businesses and retail merchants, program sponsors, local residents and visitors...thanks for supporting Historic Downtown Durango.

The path to success for small downtowns in 2010 and beyond:

Community development researchers at MichiganStateUniversity report that, "...in the long run, you have to do it yourself. Successful downtowns believe that their destiny is in their own hands. They do not wait for outside help to save them, nor do they believe they can sit and wait for things to get better. They engage themselves in setting downtown's agenda and future vision."
