Welcome to the Downtown Rochelle Association.  
     It is the goal of the DRA is to revitalize our historic downtown district, to promote growth and expansion of all Rochelle businesses, through organization, promotion, and coordination within our membership.  The DRA, working together with governmental bodies, local committees, Rochelle Tourism Board and the Lincoln Highway Coalition, intends to actively pursue opportunities for continually improving downtown Rochelle as a destination for shopping, dining, entertainment, business activity, and community services.

     The organization sponsors two retail events: Maxwell Street Days in June and Christmas Walk in December.  The DRA participates with the City, Chamber, and Tourism to provide various holiday activities for our community.  Recent additions are the return of Trick or Treating, Window Painting, with hopes of more Historic Murals, art in the park and battle of the bands.

     The organization has been planning long term initiatives for streetscape updates, historic facade standards, additional housing opportunities, seasonal decorations, and economic development activities.

     The DRA is open to any business or individual interested in supporting the efforts of its members to keep the downtown a successful and viable part of the community.
