About DNA committees
Hands-on community participation is essential to our work at DNA. We do this through a variety of committees and work groups. Business OWNERS, PROPERTY OWNERS, residents and local professionals meet regularly to collaborate, advocate and plan initiatives that advance our work to create a thriving downtown that is an asset for our entire community. Its your city, Its your DNA.
