The Natick Center Cultural District’s plan is focused on culture, community, economic development and governance and was developed by having a public dialogue listening to, and collecting ideas of our members and community.
highlights
- Facilitate timely communication through our website, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, NCCD mobile app, and monthly e-newsletter.
- Attract and retain desirable shops, services, and restaurants, thereby increasing the value and charm of Natick Center.
- Foster our working relationships with the Town of Natick, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, State legislators, and other Cultural Districts.
- Promote NCCD and local merchants through the Website Member Listing, Merchants Council, print advertising campaigns like the MetroWest Visitors Bureau Guide, Small Business Saturday, and the Banner Program.
- Speak up in the best interest of Natick Center businesses including active participation in the Parking Advisory Committee and Strategic Planning Committee.
- Offer members exclusive privileges such as help in promoting their business through strategic marketing on our social media outlets, NCA Member window decals, Members’ specials promotions, and after-hours gatherings.
