Your Grand Opening

Staunton Downtown Development Association

The Staunton Downtown Development Association (SDDA) is a nationally accredited Main Street program. Operating as non-profit volunteer-based association since 1995, the SDDA’s mission is to enhance downtown Staunton’s economic environment as a center of commerce while maintaining the character and integrity of the city’s Downtown Service District.

All commercial properties located within the boundaries of the Downtown Service District pay a special assessment tax of an additional 15 cents for every $100 of property tax, which supports the SDDA. Business and property owners within the DSD boundaries receive different benefits as compared to those who are outside those boundaries.

Join us in discovering new ways to continue to grow the crown jewel of Virginia’s Queen City — our historic downtown — into a thriving, sustainable place to work, live, and share with friends, family and visitors. Add your voice and support to this process by joining the SDDA.
