Your financial partnership will enable us to continue to preserve, enhance and promote downtown Claremore. We will be able to continue to print the Downtown Directory - our full color brochure for statewide distribution. We will also be able to participate in other advertising opportunities as they arise. We can continue to build on our downtown events and tackle more enhancement projects. 
You, our downtown businesses and property owners, are the primary beneficiary of our program. An investment of $240 per year in the downtown community would help tremendously. An investment of $360 per year would allow you to access matching grant funds for property improvements. For less than $1.00 per day, you would be making a big impact on downtown.
