OUR MISSION
Established in 1989, Downtown Mansfield, Inc. (DMI) is a nonprofit membership based organization whose mission is to stimulate economic development, improve the appearance and create a positive image of the downtown as a desirable place to live, shop, work, visit and invest.
OUR APPROACH
In order to accomplish these goals we have implemented the National Main Street Model for commercial district revitalization. This model relies upon a four point approach including Design, Economic Development, Organization and Promotion and is the foundation for the programs and projects of DMI.
