The Historic Downtown Residents Association (HDRA) is a neighborhood residents association, organized in 1997 and incorporated in 1999.

WHAT WE DO

HDRA's goal is to promote a close-knit community and to preserve the unique historic character of our downtown area.

We are a non-profit, member-supported, volunteer organization that provides a unified voice for our members and works diligently to protect, preserve, and improve our community.
