Supporting Community Engagement & Growth Together

Our goal is to revitalize the Ashland, MO downtown area by bringing businesses and community members together through beautification projects and events.

We are here to encourage a diverse, family-oriented commercial environment that promotes the Ashland downtown as the place to live, shop & play. We aim to be inclusive, transparent, innovative and open-minded.
