Our mission statement: The Lafayette - West Lafayette Development Corporation's Downtown Development Council is dedicated to ensuring the vitality of the "hilltop to hilltop" downtown district.
The downtown connects the cities of Lafayette and West Lafayette and Purdue University together. From the Village District at the top of Chauncey Hill in West Lafayette, across the Wabash River, to the five-point intersection at the crest of the Upper Main Historic District in Lafayette, the downtown encompasses everything from unique, locally-owned shops and restaurants to nationally recognized chains. This is Tippecanoe County’s center of commerce with thousands of professionals, working for banks, firms and government offices located within blocks of the courthouse square.
What We Do:
Execute Development Corp.'s downtown business retention, expansion, and recruitment efforts.
Communicate regularly with business and property owners to ascertain their needs and advise them of opportunities.
Implement the "Four Points Main Street Program".
Facilitate community volunteers to implement downtown's special events presented by the Development Corp.
