The Downtown Boone Development Association
The mission of the association is to improve the central business district of Boone, by encouraging property owners to maintain, improve and beautify downtown properties; improving walkways and pedestrian crosswalks; providing more cultural and civic events downtown; promote “smart commercial development”; encouraging transportation and parking improvements; and encouraging greater involvement of all property owners, professionals, nonprofit groups or agencies and merchants in the district. The DBDA funding comes from three sources; taxation, membership dues and private funding.
