💎 Become a Gem of Downtown

For 35 years, the Rawlins Downtown Development Authority has been a driving force behind Downtown Rawlins—raising over $700,000 for projects and securing more than $7 million in grant funding. In 2025, the organization reached more than one million people through marketing and social media.

These milestones are more than numbers—they are visible results you can see and experience in our downtown every day, made possible because of YOU.

Now, the opportunity continues—be part of what’s next.
