Our Mission

Downtown Bedford, Inc. promotes
the revitalization of historic Bedford
as a retail and service center to bring downtown economic prosperity.

What We Do

As an award-winning Main Street organization, we are motivated by the goal of retaining a sense of community where people are proud to call home. Our efforts are to ensure that the downtown and surrounding neighborhoods remain vital places to live and work. DBI provides resources and networking opportunities for local merchants and offers grants for the beautification of storefronts. We also host numerous events each year to put "feet on the streets."

​Our Community

Aside from our small-town charm and gorgeous historic architecture, Bedford boasts unique boutiques, artisan shops, specialty restaurants and so much more! ​

Student Banners for 2025-2028

Downtown Bedford Inc. is offering a High School Graduate Banner Program for students in 9th-12th grades. Honor your high school student with a vibrant, full-color banner, which will be installed on downtown street posts for one full year or until your student graduates (example November 2024 through November 2025).  After the student graduates, the banners will be given to the purchaser to keep in November/December.  
Your $250 tax-deductible donation allows an 18” x 36” vinyl banner with the name of your student, a picture, and a category (academics, band, chorus, sport, etc.) that you’d like to recognize.
There is a limited number of banners available. Placement will be on a first come basis.
For more information, please contact Downtown Bedford, Inc.

was the key east-west route connecting Philadelphia
to the west. The Bedford Historic District was added
​to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
