DGDC Mission Statement

To enhance and educate our community by preserving the heritage and fostering the development of Downtown Greensburg.

 

DGDC Supported Projects

  • Benches for Gazebo
  • Pigeon control
  • Christmas Walk and lighted Christmas parade
  • Just Take it Downtown Car Show
  • Sponsored tours of local homes as a fundraiser for the DGDC.
  • Sold bricks and built the planters that sit in the corners of the courthouse yard as well as the scripted bricks surrounding them as a fundraising project for the DGDC and to enhance downtown.
  • Helped pay to trim the trees for the downtown square as well as spraying roundup to clear weeds and general downtown cleaning activities.
  • The DGDC and HOTT City jointly funded the planting of the flowers to showcase the Court House yard this year.
  • The DGDC was responsible for the downtown being placed on the National Historic Register as a historic district.
  • The DGDC was responsible for the last streetscape that was put into place in the downtown. The DGDC incurred a huge debt as pledges that were promised did not come in. Many of the fundraising projects went to pay off that debt.
  • The DGDC has contributed over $30,000 in the last 4 years to the Fall Festival to enable them to continue the event.
  • The DGDC has also donated to the Historical Society
  • Donated to the Arts and Cultural “Plein Air Paint Out” event
