Downtown is a reflection of how a
community sees itself and its future should be a vital concern for every citizen
and business person in the community. A vibrant, prosperous, and attractive
downtown will increase pride in the area and be a visible barometer of the well
being of the entire community.
The Sumner Downtown Association is
working to take care of Downtown's future, today, for:
LONG-TIME RESIDENTS who
remember how their hometown used to be.
PARENTS who want their
children to grow up in a community with a strong sense of identity.
INDIVIDUALS who care about
Sumner's values and history.
MERCHANTS located in and
around the Main Street area who want to bring more customers into their shops.
BUSINESS PEOPLE in all areas
of the community whose businesses will benefit from increased economic growth
and civic pride generated throughout the community.
NEW RESIDENTS who are looking
for a sense of community.
Downtown is everyone's business and
we want everyone to feel and be a part of the excitement!

Downtown Revitalization is
Important Because:
-
It encourages much needed
building maintenance and facade rehabilitation.
-
It increases the tax base by
converting underutilized and unoccupied building into revenue producing
businesses.
-
By increasing the number of
businesses, dollars that would be spend elsewhere will be spent locally.
-
New businesses provide new jobs.
-
The historic character of our
City is preserved in its buildings.
-
A revitalized downtown attracts
new residents to the area.
-
It promotes an image of downtown
Sumner as a single entity, a fun, attractive place that serves as the hub of
community life.
-
Tourism dollars are increased.
-
It increases pride throughout
the community.
