Together, we have navigated significant challenges—shifting consumer trends, the opioid crisis, and mental health concerns—while fostering a thriving and inclusive downtown core. Through strong partnerships, we’ve created a welcoming environment, driving innovation and growth, and with the unwavering support of our members and partners, we’ve collectively tackled these obstacles head-on and continued to move forward with purpose.

As we look toward 2025, I am inspired by the opportunities ahead for Downtown Kingston. The continued growth of residential developments around our core presents fresh possibilities, further establishing our downtown as a hub of innovation, commerce, and connection. With the steadfast dedication of our Executive Director, Marijo Cuerrier, and her team, I am confident we are on a path to even greater progress and prosperity.

I invite each of you to join us in our mission to support the growth and success of Downtown Kingston. Together, we can build a brighter, more vibrant future for our community—one that honors our rich history while embracing the exciting opportunities that lie ahead.
