The District
Description
The District is a volunteer-driven, community non-profit developing programs to promote and enhance Quincy's historic downtown. The District began more than 30 years ago when a group of concerned business owners noticed current trends pulling shoppers from the Central Business District. In an effort to alter that trend, local business owners formed Uptown Quincy, Inc. Later the organization joined the Main Street Program and became known as the Historic Quincy Business District, to promote the area as a shopping and business district.
Today, The District is the premier destination for dining, entertainment and shopping. With the backdrop of our historic architecture, The District merges the past with a touch of modern to bring customers all the modern conveniences they would want.
The District is volunteer-driven and led by our Board of Directors. The District strives to develop programs that provide assistance to existing businesses and attracts both new businesses and customers
We are committed to economic development, promotion and preservation of The District. Our boundaries extend from Front Street to Twelfth Street and State Street to Broadway Street. Working through community partnerships, we seek to revitalize this area on a daily basis.

The District is excited to have an orchard community garden planted today near 10th and Kentucky. The orchard will consist of blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes. Fruit trees will be planted at a later date. The Community Garden Coalition organizes the volunteers who planted the garden today. The produce will be dispersed to local food pantries. Thank you to everyone who gives time to our community.
The District would like to thank Love the Q, an event sponsored by The Crossing Church . Love the Q organized volunteers throughout Quincy to make our community a better place. The District is fortunate to have 3 shifts of volunteers walking the streets to pick up trash. Love the Q's efforts will make such a huge difference in the beautification of our neighborhood. A community lunch was served in Washington Park with 500 walking tacos & 500 bag lunches. The bag lunches left over were taken to local food pantries.
We can't wait to see you there! #GreatAmericanEclipse #quincyil #rightonq #enjoyillinois Quincy Area Chamber of Commerce Great River Economic Development Foundation Arts Quincy Enjoy Illinois Quincy Area Convention & Visitors Bureau Maine St Magazine
