A fair question, and the honest answer is that it does not go to just one thing. Like membership dues, undesignated donations fund general operations and staffing, while giving us the financial means to fulfill our mission in these areas: The Improvement of Street and Structures
Plantings, lighting, signage, and storefront improvements. Fighting landlord blight and helping new business owners find the perfect storefront. Making Woodbury stronger and more vibrant!
The Grant Work Grant searches and applications take staff hours and most grants require matching funds. Dues and donations cover both, which is how a small investment turns into a much larger investment for this city.
The Farmers Market
TEN Saturdays a year of setup, permits, promotion, and the staff time it takes to keep vendors coming back.
The Events
The ghost tours, the golf challenge, and collaborations with other city-wide events give locals a reason to come downtown and out-of-towner’s a reason to visit!
