The Downtown Development Authority (DDA) was established October 19, 1991 by city ordinance of the City Council, City of Rawlins. The Rawlins DDA adopted the Main Street approach and became a Main Street community in February 2006 as part of the statewide Wyoming Main Street family.

Main Street is a national program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation that focuses on revitalizing a downtown economic district through the four-point approach: design, organization, marketing and retail strategies, and economic vitality. In 2008, Rawlins DDA/Main Street received the Innovation Award from Wyoming Main Street for excellence, originality, and effectiveness in downtown revitalization through historic preservation.

Mission
To foster a vibrant, revitalized, sustainable historic downtown that creates an economic vitality while enhancing the quality of life for our community.
