Building Community by supporting business
Thanks for stopping by, we are glad you want to learn more about Downtown Winooski! We are a nonprofit serving the entire city of Winooski. Winooski established a Downtown Designation in 2001. Since that time, Downtown Winooski (formerly The Winooski Community Partnership) has committed to comprehensive growth and revitalization. We seek to make Downtown Winooski a better place to live, visit, work, shop, do business, dine and be entertained. We utilize a consensus-building program that fosters community pride and encourages the growth of small businesses, employment and income opportunities, tax revenues, property values and general quality of life.
In addition to tax relief for businesses, Downtown Winooski brings businesses together with residents to make our community even more vibrant. We are committed to bringing exciting events, opportunities and chances for the community to come together and support each other to Winooski each year.
If you want to connect, please reach out to Executive Director Melissa Corbin: [email protected].
