Downtown Stakeholders
Downtown Temple is focused on improving all aspects of downtown by furthering developing downtown, strengthening public participation, and marketing downtown as a vibrant place to visit.
Temple aims to have a prosperous downtown district that is attractive to locals and visitors alike. The goal of the Communications & Marketing Department is to provide professional services to the Downtown Temple initiative to bolster the impact of visitor and local spending. We will utilize key marketing trends and opportunities better to position Downtown Temple as a unique experience destination.
