Downtown Revitalization

The monthly Business Roundtable Meeting is held the first Wednesday of every month, at 10am at Town Hall, 363 N. Main Street. The purpose of this monthly meeting is to help local business owners collaborate, address shared challenges, and promote downtown Fort Bragg as a vibrant destination. The Roundtable is implementing a new concept: merchants solving CBD problems, together, creating positive action, with the City Manager and City Staff. Hope to see you there!

The Central Business District (CBD) is the zoning designation applied to the core of Fort Bragg's downtown. Development is pedestrian oriented and primarily accommodates retail shops, art galleries, eateries, and government or professional offices.  City Council is investing resources to help support and revitalize downtown. Please sign-up on the City's "Notify Me" subscriber list for Downtown Business and join the conversation.

Are you or somebody you know interested in opening an eatery downtown? Now is the time! City Council is implementing a number of economic development tools aimed to support the Central Business District, among which are the Capacity Fee Deferral Program and First-Year Fee Waiver Program. The purpose of focusing resources downtown is to encourage a vibrant commercial center with lively pedestrian activity that will have a ripple effect throughout the City, strengthening our economy and neighborhoods. 

Active and engaged community members and businesses are key to our success. Please consider volunteering on one of the many subcommittees, such as Business Outreach Team, Community Event Planning, Downtown Walking Tours, Bee City USA or the Downtown Clean-up Team. Participate in various Council Committee meetings held at Town Hall and via Zoom, such as Visit Fort Bragg Committee (4th Thursday, 4pm) or the Community Development Committee (4th Tuesday, 3pm). And of course, please tune in to the regularly scheduled meeting of City Council meetings (2nd and 4th Monday at 6pm).
