Who We Are

Welcome to Downtown Augusta—the beating heart of Maine's capital city! This is an exciting time in the history of our neighborhood and we can't wait for you to get in on the ground floor of all the changes happening.

Located in one of the Top 50 Small Towns in America, according to Livabaility.com, Downtown Augusta proudly joins the ranks of two other prominent Maine communities, Brunswick and Bar Harbor as one of only three cities in the state to be listed.

Situated in a sloping valley along the Kennebec River, Downtown Augusta offers an eclectic mix of old and new, perfect for either a family outing or a night out on the town.

As a largely volunteer organization composed of merchants, developers, and stakeholders, the Augusta Downtown Alliance (ADA) is thrilled to represent this diverse community, and remains committed to further developing it by fostering business growth, improving the region's quality of life, and promoting beautification.

Proudly partnered with Main Street America, ADA is pleased to follow the tried and tested Four Point Approach of Organization, Promotion, Economic Restructuring and Design that has worked so well in other Main Street communities throughout America.

So come and join ADA so you can see for yourself just what makes Downtown Augusta so uniquely special.
