 With full funding from a  Grant  from Connecticut's Department of Community and Economic Development, the City of Derby has  Engaged  the services of internationally renowned  DPZ  to help Derby successfully position the south side of downtown Main Street for development.  The project, known as Downtown Now!, is expected to jumpstart the expansion of Derby's tax base and restore the City's downtown to a vibrant center of economic and community activity.  

 Downtown Now!, tagged Derby's Blueprint for Progress, is one of the most comprehensive initiatives ever undertaken for the south side of Main Street.  Not only is it comprehensive, it is unlike any previous effort.  Past attempts to develop this area were developer-driven.  This effort will be inspired by citizens such as yourself and will be rooted in real world economics, giving it the greatest opportunity for implementation.  

 Your participation is critical to the success of this project!
