Friends of Downtown

HDR brings ideas and people together, helping to create an exciting and attractive place to live, work and invest. We find new uses for old buildings, fill the year with festivals, beautify downtown, and help businesses thrive. This year we are excited to help fund new and creative ideas that will add vibrancy to downtown streets and businesses (Downtown Destination Grant), host a brand new event that will showcase Harrisonburg’s culinary scene (Downtown Dinner Party), partner with the city and county to educate small business owners on how to reach more customers (Market Analysis & Bricks and Clicks), and advocate for amenities that will further enhance the downtown experience (Downtown Park, Hotel Madison, Better Blocks). A vibrant downtown benefits the entire city and our success depends on people like you. Over the past 15 years, we have changed downtown into a place where people choose to be. When we started, people came here with one stop in mind, now the entire downtown is the destination, earning national recognition as a Great American Main Street Award winner and HDR as a leader in revitalization. Together, we keep downtown’s momentum going. Be a part of that success.
