Volunteer Committees

DESIGN Committee

The Design Committee plays a key role in shaping the physical image of the downtown as a place that is attractive to shoppers, investors, business owners, and visitors, through a variety of place making programs. The committee provides recommendations to the Downtown DSA Board of Trustees with regard to short and long term programs.

Promotions COMMITTEE

The job of the Promotion Committee is to PROMOTE Downtown Somerville as the heart of commerce, culture, and community life for residents and visitors alike. As Somerville continues to change, this committee will think about promotion in a broader sense and develop new strategies.

Economic Vitality Committee

The job of the Economic Vitality Committee is to identify new market opportunities for the downtown district, help existing businesses to thrive and expand and stimulate investment in property. The committee must develop a thorough understanding of the district’s economic condition and its best opportunities, focusing on incremental change that improves the downtowns’ economic foundation, leading to long term investment and growth.
