Additional Information
In 2021, the Downtown Tucson Partnership contracted Denver-based consulting firm, Progressive Urban Management Associates, to assist in developing a new strategic plan to guide the organization’s evolution through COVID-19 recovery and over the next five years. DTP will work in collaboration with its many partners to move forward the vision and goals for Downtown Tucson expressed in this plan. The plan was informed by input from DTP staff and Board of Directors, along with broad community feedback, current market trends, impacts from COVID-19, and best practices from downtown management organizations.
