Based in Lincoln, Nebraska, the Downtown Lincoln Association is a nonprofit organization established in 1967 by downtown retailers seeking a dedicated entity to address the district's needs. It has evolved into a multifaceted group that supports maintenance, economic development, and advocacy for the downtown area. It also serves as the umbrella for Updowntowners, Inc., the events production arm, and the Downtown Neighborhood Association, coordinating related activities and partnerships such as with the Lincoln Haymarket Development Corporation to support revitalization and attractions. The association functions as a focal point for downtown stakeholders—including retailers, property owners, residents, and event organizers—seeking to maintain and enhance a vibrant urban core where people live, work, learn, invest and play. A notable recent development includes a 2021 partnership with Nanonation, Inc. to advance digital signage and downtown communications.
