Join the Team of Downtown Business Leaders

Location: Goshen’s Historic District

The Historic Downtown District extends from Pike to Madison Streets (north to south) and 2nd to 6th Street (west to east). Businesses located from 6th Street to Indiana Avenue on Lincoln Avenue are also included in our membership district. Businesses must be physically located within the boundaries of the Historic Downtown District to apply for membership.

Registration

Each business must register or renew its membership annually.

Participation

DGI encourages Members to participate in all Downtown Goshen events and promotions, but we recognize this is not always feasible. Participation in special events, such as First Fridays, is optional.

Deadline

Register to become a Member at any time throughout the year.

Special Advertising Promotions

Our marketing team will also develop or facilitate special group promotions and events throughout the year. We may require an additional fee to participate in special promotions to cover additional advertising costs.

Businesses Outside The Downtown District

If your business/organization is located outside the downtown commercial district and you want to participate in Downtown Goshen events, please see us about sponsorship opportunities.
