The Beginning
Downtown Salisbury, Inc (DSI) was formed.
Main Street City
Named a “Main Street City” in 1980, DSI follows the “main street approach” to downtown development. This approach marries historic preservation and economic development. There are four key areas: organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring.
Non-Profit
DSI was incorporated as a 501(c) 3 non-profit.
Downtown Master Plan
The Downtown Master Plan is a blueprint that is based on over 250 years of rich community heritage. It also reaches forward to embrace the future. The 2010 plan shapes the future of Downtown Salisbury for many years to come.
Merge With City
DSI operations are brought under the City of Salisbury organization. Staff are now part of the Downtown Development division. The DSI board remains a non-profit.
