Looking to open a business in Westfield? Want to know about the highly successful revitalization of the downtown district? Want to attend fun events downtown?

Contact the Downtown Westfield Corporation (DWC), the management entity of the Special Improvement District. Began as Main Street Westfield in 1993, the organization is run by a staff of three, a volunteer board of directors, and various committees. Downtown Westfield is one of only 32 designated Main Street communities in NJ, and over 1,200 nationally.


The vision of the Downtown Westfield Corporation (DWC) is for Westfield, NJ to be a preferred destination where people want to live, work and visit. The DWC is committed to strengthening the downtown Special Imrovement District as the center of community life; improving the District's economic viability by supporting existing businesses; encouraging the establishment of new enterprises; supporting cultural activities that complement existing stores and services; making Downtown Westfield a safer, cleaner and more attractive pedestrian environment, with adequate public parking to serve the needs of local residents and attract new shoppers and visitors from throughout the region; preserving the rich architectural legacy of the downtown area.

DWC oversees the four points approach of a designated Main Street community, including Design, Economic Development, Organization, and Promotions.
