Information for Downtown Stakeholders

First, make sure to sign up for our newsletter! We send downtown business updates to your inbox each month and whenever the Downtown Board of Directors and staff need to inform you of important stakeholder topics. To be added to the stakeholders newsletter list, email the Interim Director/Downtown Events and Marketing Coordinator at Latoya.Price@DowntownSalisburyNC.gov or the Administrative Specialist at mel.drye@DowntownSalisburyNC.gov.

Second, request access to our private Facebook Group, as a communication tool exclusively for our Downtown Stakeholders, so you can share information and ask questions of your peers in the district. Third, follow Downtown Salisbury, NC on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. We can share your latest news, too, if you tag us by using the following in your social media posts: #downtownsalisburync and @downtownsalisburync

If you are new to Downtown or considering opening a business in the district, please make sure to review the City’s Permitting, Signage & other regulations here , as well as DMSD grants by clicking here for beautification, exterior and interior renovations specifically for downtown tenants and property owners. Please drop us a note so we can welcome you and help you take advantage of all of the benefits of being part of the Downtown community.

If you have any questions about the Downtown Salisbury, Inc. Board of Directors, joining one of our four (4) committees and various sub-committees, or if we can help in any way, we invite you to contact us.

You can purchase Downtown Dollars from the DSI office at City Hall, 217 S. Main St., Salisbury NC 28144. If you would like to order more than $20, please call 704-637-7814 at least two hours ahead of pickup.

Downtown Dollar vouchers can be used at any participating business in the place of cash and then are turned into DSI for a full cash exchange.

It is a simple process that connects DSI with our town’s merchants in an effort to promote the flow of money through the local economy with something simple and fun for the customer.

Downtown Dollars will have an expiration date depending upon the group or individual receiving this downtown specific monetary substitute. For example, if a group is visiting for a conference consisting of only a day or two, those dollars may be limited to the dates the attendees are in town. Other expiration dates could be three months, six months, but no longer than 1 year from issuance.

Downtown Dollars are non-refundable, non-transferable, and they cannot be reissued.

Businesses are NOT required to give change for Downtown Dollars. Despite how much is spent by the customer, the rest of the money goes to the merchant to ensure all revenue generated by Downtown Dollars stay local.
