Where Passion and Experience Meet

DPN is a collaborative for industry-leading advocates and practitioners who share a passion for our work and bring hands-on, real world experience to help organizations and communities explore opportunities, develop solutions, and plan and act for the future.  

We work alongside community leaders and stakeholders to understand needs, to explore opportunities, and to deliver plans, training, technical assistance and support that emphasize a practical, real world, hands–on approach.

Now in its twentieth year, DPN has evolved to serve a clientele that includes local, state and national downtown, neighborhood business district and economic development organizations, municipalities, and businesses.
