Downtown Inc Events

In September 2018, the YCEA and Downtown Inc announced a strategic affiliation to bring greater prosperity to all of York County, and downtown York. The foundation of this strategic affiliation is built upon the accomplishments of both organizations. By bringing two economic development powerhouses together to achieve their distinct missions, we will increase our capacity without diminishing our impact. At the core of this strategic affiliation is one simple goal: to increase economic growth across York County and within Downtown York in order to create sustained prosperity for all York County residents.

Business Series

Downtown Inc has partnered with PNC for a series of virtual workshops that help merchants keep up to date on best practices for customer service, social media and more.
