Downtowners Open House!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Open House on January 28.  Our new location in the historic Depot building was packed with members and community folks!  Thank you to Jerome Distributing for providing refreshments for the event and our partners at Depot Properties.  We enjoyed the event so much, the Downtowners will plan for more causal member events at our new location in the future.  Our move to this new location is part of a larger plan for Downtown Bismarck.  The Depot parking lot has been identified as a future public space for the Bismarck and Downtown Community.  Being on-site will allow the Downtowners and our Foundation to function well as that exciting project begins.  Change of address post-cards were mailed late last year, in case you missed it our new address is 407 E Main Ave.  Our mailing address remains PO BOX 521 in Bismarck.
