Rawlins Downtown Development Authority

Visit our dedicated website at www.downtownrawlins.org! 

The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was established October 19, 1991 by city ordinance of the City Council, City of Rawlins. 

The Downtown Development Authority businesses, board and all volunteers have many reasons to celebrate over the years. We received the coveted downtown economic development "Great American Main Street Award (GAMSA)" in 2015. We were also the proud winners of the National Main Street Center’s “One to Watch” award in 2014, the Innovation Award from Wyoming Main Street for excellence, originality and effectiveness in downtown revitalization through historic preservation in 2008 and the Rawlins-Carbon County Chamber of Commerce’s Non-Profit of the Year in 2008.

Mission

Downtown Rawlins is a vibrant, revitalized, sustainable historic district that is family-friendly with great dining, retail and entertainment for the community and visitors!
