Downtown Thomasville Revitalization

We saved you a seat in the Piedmont Triad, where trails, trains and highways meet. Anchored by a legacy of craftsmanship, downtown Thomasville, North Carolina weaves entrepreneurship and creative arts through multi-generational activities and the historic and cultural character of the district.

Since 1991, PACE Downtown has been at the forefront of revitalizing Thomasville's downtown area. This longstanding commitment to community improvement has culminated in a prestigious achievement: Thomasville has been named the sole recipient of the 2023 Downtown Associate Community (DAC) status. Over the next two years, PACE Downtown Thomasville, in partnership with the NC Main Street and Rural Planning Center, will harness this distinction to further drive the transformation of our downtown.

Thomasville's selection highlights its potential as a beacon of economic growth and development. Working closely with the NC Department of Commerce, we are poised to grow a sustainable downtown organization that will pave the way for our eventual designation as a North Carolina Main Street community.

We wholeheartedly invite and encourage greater community involvement, as we believe active citizen participation is crucial in shaping the future of our downtown. Together, we can embark on this journey toward a thriving, vibrant downtown that reflects the spirit and resilience of our community
