Downtown Alliance introduces the Friend of Downtown Program
Salt Lake City - The Downtown Alliance presents Friend of Downtown—a membership program offering the best of downtown for downtown supporters across the region. People who become a Friend of Downtown receive a variety of offerings from downtown organizations and businesses.
“Downtown belongs to everyone,” said Jason Mathis, executive director of the Downtown Alliance. “Our goal with this program is to encourage an enhanced downtown experience as well as provide a way for the public to show their support for downtown.”
For $50, the Friend of Downtown membership will provide a collection of merchandise, event tickets, dining offers, lodging discounts, valet parking and more worth hundreds of dollars. Visit www.downtownslc.org/friend for details and to become a Friend.
“Downtown is on the cusp of transformational change and there has never been a better time to explore Salt Lake City,” said Mathis. “New life is being breathed into downtown’s historic buildings, as streets like Main and Broadway undergo a dynamic renaissance.”
