What is the HDP working on?

HDP logo and brand kit

We’re finally ready to give HDP a look of its own! A new logo and brand kit are on the way, so our flyers, signs, and social posts will all look like they belong together. Stay tuned for the reveal this fall.

Pole Planters

We’re sprucing up downtown with planters on every light pole in town. You can help by donating or by becoming a Sustaining Partner.

Winter Placemaking

To brighten up the darkest months, HDP bought string lights and helped local businesses put them up all over downtown.

Downtown Dollars

We’re developing a program to keep more of our money circulating in Hardwick’s local economy. More details coming soon.

Vacancy to Vibrancy

We’re putting together a proposal to bring downtown’s vacant storefronts back to life by connecting empty spaces with new tenants. More details coming soon.

Past Projects

Pedestrian Bridge Opening

On Saturday, October 10, we teamed up with the Civic Standard to celebrate the opening of the new pedestrian bridge with a community festival.

Hardwick Hop

From September 19 to October 10, visitors explored 18 downtown businesses and collected stamps in their Hop Passport. Completed passports were entered in a drawing for prizes from local businesses. Thanks to everyone who hopped!

Thanks to HDP, downtown now has Welcome to Hardwick pole banners for all four seasons. Look for them as the seasons change!
