The goal of the Downtown Waltham Partnership is a Downtown Waltham that is friendly, diverse, safe, sustainable and thriving.
We want:
- To promote Downtown Waltham as a vibrant cultural, retail and entertainment destination reflecting the best of its diverse communities;
- To encourage a variety of local and independent businesses and activities that will both serve and employ residents;
- To preserve Downtown Waltham’s historic buildings and encourage sympathetic new development;
- To make the Downtown Waltham streetscape attractive and engaging;
- To make Downtown Waltham cleaner, greener and more pedestrian-oriented;
- To foster cooperation among residents, business owners and property owners;
- To champion economic and social resilience to carry Waltham through the 21st century.
The Downtown Waltham Partnership is directed by a volunteer board made up of representatives from downtown Waltham-based businesses, nonprofit agencies, residents and other direct stakeholders.
