Downtown
Professionals Network (DPN) is a research and planning firm specializing in
the community & economic development and downtown revitalization fields. DPN consultants are experienced
professionals who collaborate to engage local stakeholders in highly
interactive, creative and fun research and planning processes.
As
experienced consultants and former community non-profit and downtown
management organization professionals, we understand how to create
links between research, planning and implementation and how results

DPN clients benefit from our strong network of specialists
that bring extensive knowledge, specialized skills, and first-hand

Our
Team, Your Partners
DPN
brings together firms and individuals with a strong record of past
work and success. DPN consultants are highly experienced
development and revitalization specialists that collaborate to
provide tailored services for community and downtown initiatives.
The
DPN team includes former community non-profit downtown organization
management executives with first-hand experience in mobilizing
communities to plan and implement projects that achieve results.

sound economic research and development principles.
Our
philosophy and approach helps to expedite the transition from
research and planning to implementation. This action-oriented
approach also serves as an extension of past, current and planned
community efforts and investments, and greatly enhances prospects
for the successful implementation of each project's resulting
strategies and products. |
