Launching We Make It Happen

This month the Downtown Detroit Partnership is launching a new campaign called “We Make It Happen.” The DDP’s 100th-anniversary milestone allowed us to showcase the people and programs that have impacted our organization and region for decades, and we want to illustrate how the organization/team continues to serve the Downtown.

About the DDP

The Downtown Detroit Partnership (DDP) strengthens and supports Downtown Detroit through strategic initiatives and programs. DDP convenes business, philanthropic, and government partners to create a vibrant and resilient urban core for Detroit and the region.

DDP takes an active role in development and planning decisions that positively impacts the city’s economic prosperity. We also work with key stakeholders in the public and private sectors on multiple programs and projects to enhance Downtown’s appeal to businesses, residents, and visitors. Additionally, we provide direct services that create a cleaner, safer, and welcoming Downtown for all.
