Looking Forward To A New Year Full of Opportunity & Excitement

Happy New Year! As we enter a new year, full of opportunities and growth, we would like to share the DSI mission that was established in 2003.

The DSI mission is: to stimulate economic development by encouraging cooperation and building leadership in the business community; to develop a marketing strategy that will provide an improved retail mix, strengthen the tax base; increase investor confidence; to build a viable tourism effort; to promote a unified, quality image of Downtown Shenandoah as a center of goods and services; and to create an attractive, coordinated visual impression of Shenandoah through facade improvements streetscape and historic preservation of our existing buildings.

We will continue to work hard to strengthen our community and look forward to great things happening in 2026 including the opening of The Center For Education, Business, & Arts (CEBA). This long-awaited innovation center will breathe new life and economic energy into our amazing community. Look forward to a ribbon cutting announcement coming soon!
