GROW DOWNTOWN
WHAT IS GROW DOWNTOWN?
Grow Downtown is presented by DTSB, allowing individuals to get involved and take pride in their community. The program focuses on:
COMMUNITY APPEAL
Encourage Community Pride
Create Positive Perceptions
Increase Property Value
DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
Renew Business Districts
Draw in Visitors
Attract New Businesses
SUSTAINABLE GROWTH
Enhance Green Space
Boost Tourism
Improve Quality of Life
WHY FLOWERS?
Improved property value is directly linked to well-maintained, dense landscaping and green spaces. Crime rates are lower in areas, which appear clean and cared for. Thus, residents and businesses are more attracted to urban areas featuring green spaces. Overall, a positive perception of place invites pedestrian participation, encourages community cohesion, and boosts business.
Individuals can purchase hanging flower baskets or plantings adding beauty to the streets of downtown South Bend. Each flower arrangement adds color, vitality, and beauty to the downtown area. The arrangements represent, memorialize, or honor community members while helping downtown grow.
