Community - Prosser Economic Development Association

Community Information

A Main Street Start-Up Community

Through the efforts of the Historic Downtown Prosser Association (HDPA) Prosser has been named a Main Street Start Up Community in the Washington State Main Street Program. With the recent designation into the second tier of the program, dedicated volunteers are actively creating work plans in the areas of Design, Organization, Promotion and Economic Restructuring.

A vibrant surge of economic development in Prosser, has produced a flurry of interest and renovations to downtown are occurring. Local building owners are using the Design Committees’ suggested palette of colors, remodeling outdated storefront facades and renovating their buildings inside and out. The opening of new businesses and restaurants along with renovation of turn of the century buildings and the Historic Princess Theatre has produced a lively atmosphere and increased foot traffic in the downtown core. Preservation efforts will continue and be a key component in the revitalization success of Prosser.
