Downtown Update

Downtown York has witnessed exponential growth over the past few years. With increases in its small business offerings, major development and redevelopment projects, including local and regional investment, Downtown Inc is proud to share where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Join us for a dynamic conversation on what’s happening now and what’s ahead for our Downtown York during Downtown Inc’s Spring Downtown Update!

Doors will open at 7:30am for networking and a grab-and-go breakfast, with the program beginning promptly at 8am. 

The Spring Downtown Update will highlight the continued energy, investment, and forward momentum shaping Downtown York. Attendees will hear directly from Mayor Sandie Walker about key city initiatives, including progress on her 6 in 26 priorities focused on fostering a clean, safe, and vibrant community. Kelley Gibson will introduce and provide an overview of the new Public Art Toolkit, an initiative designed to expand creativity and strengthen partnerships throughout Downtown York.

The event will conclude with an engaging, fast-paced panel discussion featuring new downtown business owners sharing why they chose York, what excites them about the community, and how they’re helping shape its future.

Panelists include:

  • Danny Morgan, Root + Relic
  • Kyle Moore, Men in the Kitchen
