The Silver City Downtown Action Plan Website

The Silver City Downtown Action Plan is a collaborative planning project between the Town of Silver City, Silver City MainStreet, Silver City Arts and Cultural District and New Mexico MainStreet. Using funds from the NM MainStreet program, the Town has retained a consulting team, led by CommunityByDesign, which specializes in revitalizing town centers, to work with the community in developing the plan.

The Downtown Action Plan will address parking, pedestrian improvements, wayfinding and signage, public facilities, historic preservation and adaptive reuse of buildings, and the arts and cultural opportunities in the downtown. The plan will set the course for future actions and improvements to create a downtown that serves our residents and visitors. But the success of our downtown is contingent on your involvement in the plan.

Draft Downtown Vision Statement:

Downtown Silver City is the cultural heart and vital economic center of our diverse community. It is the place where the community lives, works and gathers for sustaining creative expression, enterprise, and heritage.  Our residents, families, and visitors contribute to the success of its eclectic shops, restaurants, artistic and entertainment venues, and outstanding museums.
