About the Campaign
💎 Become a Gem of Downtown
For 33 years, the Rawlins Downtown Development Authority has invested in projects and programs that strengthen Downtown Rawlins, raising over $450,000 for local initiatives and securing more than $5 million in grants.
Now, we invite you to join us by becoming a Gem of Downtown.

🌳 2025 Focus: Depot Park Improvements
