Dutchtown organizations have established a committee format for community-led improvement in the neighborhood. The Dutchtown Committees project is a joint effort between Dutchtown Main Streets, the Dutchtown Community Improvement District, and the St. Louis Main Streets Initiative.
While certain projects will focus on the Dutchtown CID footprint or the St. Louis Main Streets target area, we’ll also work on projects that target broader areas of the neighborhood. We encourage residents, business owners, and other partners from all over Dutchtown to join one or more committees that suit your interests.
Dutchtown Committees meet every month on the first Tuesday, 6pm at Thomas Dunn Learning Center. Everyone is welcome to attend.
If you’re already ready to sign up, you can jump straight to the signup form.

We organize events, promote local businesses, and develop a strong brand and presence for Dutchtown.
