DRI’s Campaign
Downtown Roanoke, Inc. is dedicated to enhancing the appeal and vitality of downtown because we recognize its crucial role in the overall well-being of the Roanoke Valley and its neighboring areas.
Our beautification initiatives encompass various projects, including the installation of 276 hanging baskets, 124 planters, and 9 palisade planters at Market Square, along with the annual Market Square Tree Lighting.
Ensuring a clean, safe, and inviting downtown environment is fundamental to fostering a thriving city. Our team of 8 ambassadors is present seven days a week, contributing nearly 300 hours of services weekly. Through our Ambassador Program, we aim to elevate the downtown experience for residents, workers, and visitors alike.
We are committed to sustaining and expanding these programs, and your generous donation will play a vital role in helping us achieve our objectives.
Pre Leasing is available NOW for the new apartments located in The Bower!
Our friends at Crafteria: Handmade Food & Goods have downtown Roanoke’s largest selection of beer and wine, and they want to hear about the bottles you can’t help but empty. Your feedback will help them deliver the kinds of booze downtown folks like you want, plus it’ll score you 10% off handmade crafts and small batch foods.
