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.
