The Northfield Downtown Development Corporation was established in 2000 as an organization dedicated to sustaining a vibrant and vital Downtown. They work to advance the interests of Downtown Northfield by supporting business owners, service providers, property owners and residents in downtown. They build cooperation among downtown stakeholders by collaborating with local organizations including the City of Northfield, the Northfield Enterprise Center, the Northfield Historical Society, the Heritage Preservation Commission, the Northfield Arts Guild, the Chamber of Commerce and the Convention & Visitors Bureau. They promote investment in downtown and work to attract residents and visitors to the heart of the Northfield community. In 2016, a "Vision for Downtown" group was formed by the NDDC to give community members a voice in enhancing our downtown.
