A Special Update from our Executive Director:

" I am thrilled to inform you that the DMD has earned full Accreditation from the National Main Street Program, recognizing our work over the past few years as successful under the Ten Standards of Performance established by the National Main Street Center. We joined the Main Street Program in 2016 as an affiliate organization, marking Downtown Corpus Christi's commitment to participating in the state and national professional industry organization. In 2019, we earned provisional Accreditation, based upon our work in 2018. This 2020 Accreditation marks the first year the DMD is fully Accredited according to national standards. We are dedicated to continuing this pattern of excellence and appreciate your continued support. Please join me in congratulating our team for their excellent work!"
- Alyssa Barrera Mason

In this spirit, we will continue to do our best to create and maintain a downtown that is safe, beautiful and enjoyable for all. With the help of our neighbors, stakeholders, sponsors and the community at large, we know Downtown Corpus Christi will continue to shine!
