It's all about Downtown Hammond
Mission:
The Hammond Downtown Development District is devoted to progressing and stimulating business development and diversity. We protect, unite and rejuvenate the district in order the benefit residents and local commerce; making Downtown a promising place to socialize, do business and call home.
Downtown Hammond became a pilot of the Louisiana Main Street program in 1984, becoming one of the first 4 Main Streets in the state. In 1986 the Downtown Development District Authority was passing and in 1987 the community voted yes to the DDD receiving a millage of property taxes to fund commerce and development in the district.
At the Downtown Development District on the corner of Thomas Street and Railroad Avenue - we focus on arts & entertainment, beautification, economic vitality, events, merchant support and community health in order to make Downtown Hammond as happening as possible.
