Join us! The mission of the Dayton Community Development Association (DCDA) is to enhance the quality of life for all citizens of Dayton by helping to revitalize, improve, and maintain the economic, physical, social, aesthetic and cultural environment of Dayton’s Downtown area.
DCDA Vision Statement: Dayton is the small town gem of Yamhill County Oregon. It is a beautiful, historic, safe, vibrant and diverse community that is both a wonderful place to live and a fun place to visit.
Main Street
In 2009, the DCDA applied to and was accepted into the Oregon Main Street Program and is a member of the Transforming Downtown program.. We have integrated the Main Street Approach® into our downtown management strategy.
The DCDA is a Main Street America™ Affiliate. Main Street America™ has been helping revitalize older and historic commercial districts for more than 35 years. Today it is a network of more than 1,600 neighborhoods and communities, rural and urban, who share both a commitment to place and to building stronger communities through preservation-based economic development. Main Street America is a program of the nonprofit National Main Street Center, a subsidiary of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Elements of the Dayton Forward: A Vision for the Future plan, a collaborative planning effort between the City of Dayton and the Dayton Community Development Association which took place in 2012, are also incorporated into the DCDA’s efforts.

- A beautiful, historic, safe, vibrant and diverse community that is both a wonderful place to live and a fun place to visit.
