DNA’s Destination Downtown
Downtown Real Estate Game Plan

“Vacant Spaces To Vibrant Places”

Real Estate Showcase, Community Visioning Walking Tour, and Possibilities Presentation • Two Day Event

In Downtown Natchez, as in other communities nationwide, property owners may want to redevelop, but they may not know how to evaluate the best end-use of their property in the context of their market. DNA’s Destination Downtown: Real Estate Game Plan, our newest annual event, will aid owners, developers, investors, and potential business owners in that process. Ultimately, DNA will assist owners and developers in constructing pro forma statements to help them make sound development decisions.

The Game Plan is a package of materials that includes current and projected market data, including demographic trends and retail leakage; and results of the Downtown Visioning Walking Tour and Possibilities Presentation, with recommendations of strategies Downtown Natchez could undertake that would improve the real estate conditions.
