DOWNTOWN CARLISLE ASSOCIATION

DCA follows the National Historic Trust Main Street Principles for its organizational management structure. Trained by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center under the supervision of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, the DCA provides an array of benefits for downtown business & tourism and Borough staff augmentation.

The DCA is a community board managed organization. We exist to benefit the goals of economic development, increased tourism, managed C-1 l and use and housing development, historic preservation, and regional marketing. These goals are all embedded goals of the Borough of Carlisle Comprehensive Plan.

Various programs are created and executed by one full-time main street manager and one full-time assistant main street manager.
