Downtown Danville Partnership
The Downtown Danville Partnership (DDP) is a community-driven, 501(c)(3) non-profit whose mission is dedicated to developing, promoting, and preserving Danville’s historic courthouse square as Hendricks County’s premier gathering place and hub for retail, civic, and entertainment activities.
Our vision is to encourage collaboration and create enthusiasm among everyone who visits downtown Danville. Through strong partnerships with the community, businesses, and local government, we foster collaboration to preserve Danville’s historic charm, drive economic growth, and inspire excitement in everyone who visits downtown.
We take pride in sharing Danville’s story and invite everyone to experience the unique charm and offerings of our small town.
